888042 - Page on settings up Remote Debugging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Developer Tools, defect)

Description

[Chenxia Liu [:liuche]]

We'd like to surface remote debugging in the Android UI (ideally to ship with Fx25), and we need to link to some official non-blog instructions for set-up.

There's a smattering of documentation amongst the JSDebugger and FirefoxOS simulator pages (and also [1] which mentions debugging over wifi), but none of it is specifically relevant to setting up remote debugging on Android, and would probably be confusing to link to.

It's probably too much sharding to make a specific page for Android, so I'd like to figure out what would be best.

Thanks for raising this. I'm still trying to catch up with basic coverage for the developer tools, but once that is in a reasonable state will take a look at this and we'll try to figure out what's best.
