I am trying to install mediastreamvalidator, mediastreamsegmenter, mediafilesegmenter tools for my mac machine version 10.6.8.
As mentioned in below link about downloading required tools for development of Apple specified Http Live Server.
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StreamingMediaGuide/UsingHTTPLiveStreaming/UsingHTTPLiveStreaming.html
As above article says:
The tools are frequently updated, so you should download the current
version of the HTTP Live Streaming Tools from the Apple Developer
website. You can access them if you are a member of the iPhone
Developer Program. One way to navigate to the tools is to log onto
connect.apple.com, then click iPhone under the Downloads heading.
After logging in to site connect.apple.com with Mac OSX developer credentials,
under download heading there is no tab named iPhone, i am unable to find this link.
If these tools are stored else where can some one please provide me the updated link?
I need these command lines for developing HLS server.
As I read on Apple web site, Mac OSX version 10.6 and above have these applications pr-installed and we don't need to install them using dgm files, but on my max machine i have only mediastreamsegmenter command line tools not all of them.
Can some one please provide me a link to download these command line tools or provide information on how to get these applications installed on my mac.
As mentioned by Stuart, you must be a member of the iPhone Developer Program in order to access these tools via the http://connect.apple.com link provided in the official documentation. More specifically, you must be a paid member. This fact caused me to lose several hours searching for the tools as I was a member of the iPhone Developer Program, but my annual membership had lapsed and the tools were consequently no longer available to me. What really got me was that the tools were still unavailable within the first few hours of renewing my membership. It took approximately 12 - 24 hours after I paid to renew my membership for them to show up in the list. Hope this helps someone down the road!
They seem to be well-hidden for whatever reason, but after a few wild goose chases, I found them.
You can start at the public-facing streaming page: https://developer.apple.com/streaming/
There is a "Downloads" link along the side. You'll be prompted to sign in to your Developer account, and then finally you get the actual download page here:
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=http%20live%20streaming%20tools
Here is a copy make from lastest version of HTTP Live Streaming Tools on ADC.
https://github.com/creeveliu/HTTPLiveStreamingTools
Download:
$ git clone https://github.com/creeveliu/HTTPLiveStreamingTools
To install it, you just need to double-click the StreamingTools.pkg and follow the instructions.
Once installed you will have these tools
/usr/local/bin/mediastreamsegmenter
/usr/local/bin/mediafilesegmenter
/usr/local/bin/mediasubtitlesegmenter
/usr/local/bin/variantplaylistcreator
/usr/local/bin/mediastreamvalidator
/usr/local/bin/hlsreport.py

I have an electron app and i have used electron builder with digicert. I'm able to make it work for windows. Now i'm trying to sign for mac OS using a mac computer. Can we use Digi cert to sign the app?
Thanks
To sign a Mac application, (electron, or any other application) you should generate a certficate comming from apple with an apple developer account (100$/year).
If your are using electron-forge they explained in their documentation how to do it.
Electron forge uses the tools, which you can use without :
electron-osx-sign
electron-notarize
Like you, I struggled a lot at the beginning, and I give answers to my own question : https://stackoverflow.com/a/68176513/15821631
Conclusion : No you can't use your Digicert certificate (windows only), but you will have to get an Apple developper account and a generate a special certificate. Tools exist to sign an app without taking too much trouble. They are well made and well documented. The question has been asked a lot already on Stackoverflow.
How can I update my Android Things preview 1 with preview 2? Is there an automatic OTA available or isn't this possible right now, so that I have to flash the sdcard (from my Raspberry Pi)?
EDIT1:
Currently, OTA is not available.You have to download preview 2 binaries manually and flash to sdcard.
EDIT2:(2017 Jun 30)
Now,OTA is available using androidthing console.
For OTA automatic updates, you have to create factory image then download it and flash it on your sdcard/board. Thats it, from next time onwards whenever there is OS/security update.Updates will be downloaded and install automatically.Also you can update your applications from console.See below image and for more info refer.
It was mentioned at IO 2017, OTA updates will be available via the IoT Developer Console. However I believe now because it's in developer preview, these features are not available.
https://iot.google.com/console
The IoT Developer Console is the best place for developing Android Things or Weave on your devices.
More info in the docs as always: https://developers.google.com/iot/dev-console/
We're using Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova to build our app for iOS (and Windows).
We have a Mac running the remote agent. This works well, except we've only been able to have the setup produce signed .ipa files.
We're now looking into being able to create an unsigned "app" that we can deliver to our customer. They will then sign it with their enterprise certificate and distribute it within their orgainization (not the App Store).
The recommended way to deliver the app to the customer seems to be to create an xcarchive (I have looked at the option to deliver an ipa signed with our develoepr cert and then have the customer resign it with iReSign, but that seems flaky).
Is there a way to do that with this setup without any manual steps on the Mac?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
As far as i have analyzed, the easiest way to create an xcarchive is to use cocoon cloud service. Infact, it does gives the flexibility of generating both xcarchive and IPA.
Also you have full control of your build process as it provides various config controls and it is already used by some renowned companies.Suggest to have a look at cocoon platform once.
I know you have mentioned that you cannot rely on 3rd party service but it is the easiest approach as far as i my analysis. Also it may be useful for someone who is struck with a similar issue to give it a shot.
I want to test my website on Safari on my iPad. I only have another PC. Is there a way for me to do remote debugging like ADB (Android Debug Bridge) with mobile Chrome? I searched on StackOverflow, seems there is an Adobe Edge Inspect CC, but I don't know if this is a good choice.
Thanks!
Update October 2019
This solution doesn't work for IOS 12+ (resource 1, resource 2).
Updated and tested on 24/6/2017
Using Chrome on Windows 8 and more recent:
Download and install Node
Download and install ITunes and connect it to your Device. (A pop-up should shows to your iPad to get authorization)
. Be sure to allow web inspector in your iPad
Download and install the remote webkit adapter
Using Powershell (As administrator):
npm install remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter -g
Execute the adapter:
Using Powershell (as administrator):
remotedebug_ios_webkit_adapter --port=9000
You should get a similar output:
C:\Windows\system32> remotedebug_ios_webkit_adapter --port=9000
remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter is listening on port 9000
iosAdapter.getTargets
...
Open Chrome and go to the following link:
chrome://inspect/#devices
Click on configure next to "Discover network targets" and add the following:
localhost:9000
Make sure to have the web page you want debug open on safari, you should see it on chrome inspector page under Remote Target
Extra step for iOS 11 Thanks to #skaurus
See monkeythedev's answer for the easiest way to debug on a Windows 8+ machine with iOS 9+. I updated my blog post using information from that answer and other sources and also recorded a screenshare. The method below should still work for iOS 8 and down, if needed.
There is actually a pretty easy way to debug a website in Safari on iOS using Firefox on a Windows machine.
NOTE: Ryan wrote in the comments below that this may only work on iOS 8 and down. I am unable to confirm, but be aware.
I wrote a detailed blog post about this, but here are the highlights:
Install iTunes to get the "Apple Mobile Device Support" and "Apple Application Support" applications that come with it. (uninstall iTunes afterward, if you want)
Connect your iOS device via USB.
Enable web inspector on iOS (available on iOS 6 and later).
Open Safari on your iOS device and browse to a website.
Open Firefox on your Windows machine and press Shift + F8 to open WebIDE, which should include the necessary Valance add-on, if you use Firefox Developer Edition (any version) or Firefox 37 and later (any channel).
For some reason, I couldn't get it to connect to my iOS device until I downloaded the ios-webkit-debug-proxy-win32 program and ran it. It opens a blank Command Prompt, but after I went back to WebIDE after opening it, I disconnected, then reconnected, and I saw debug info for the website I had opened in Safari. You may not need to do this though, as another user just had to add an exception to their firewall then disconnect/reconnect, and it worked.
The debug info available isn't as exhaustive as Chrome Developer Tools (specifically no "Networking" tab), but it was enough for me to be able to view what was going on in the Console.
2018 Update:
Since the original post, the blog post is dead & Telerik App Builder is discontinued and no longer offered. Adding this update to inform readers in case they don't read the user comments that follow this answer post. As for the blog post, for those still interested, here's a web cached copy. Regarding the blog, I think the company that blog's from has since shut down.
When I get a chance, I'll see if I have a copy of the app builder saved so that I can post it online for those still interested in using it, along with another cached copy of the blog post maybe.
Original Answer
You can try option of using Telerik AppBuilder (Windows client) as a replacement on Windows for Safari debugger on Mac when remote debugging. There's a nice blog post about the steps to do it in link below. I'd rather not repost the info as there are also screenshots and it's a lot of text. But essentially, you install app, open it, connect device via USB, then you can find it in the app and open up the developer tools/debugger for it. For non-public websites, you'll have to open up port 80 with some firewall configs documented in the post.
http://blog.falafel.com/Blogs/josh-eastburn/2014/03/04/ios-web-inspector-on-windows-with-telerik-appbuilder
The tool requires a license or you can use the trial, which becomes a basic edition afterwards. I think the basic edition will still allow you to do the debugging. I'm going to try it out myself.
You can also try these iOS apps too, you can find them in the iTunes App store. They give you a built in developer tools feature (right on iOS no remote debug) that mobile Safari doesn't offer.
MIH Tool - basic edition
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mihtool/id584739126?ls=1&mt=8
HTTPWatch Basic
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/httpwatch-basic-http-sniffer/id658886056?mt=8
I gave them a try and they're at least better than the mobile Safari you get on iOS, unless one needs to target full mobile Safari compatibility. I'm guessing the pro/paid editions of those apps give you more/better features.
This question was more than 4 years ago, but I feel like it's worth to mention another option which is platform-independent which seems is not mentioned above:
VConsole
It's a JavaScript that you can inject into your page(s) which will overwrite all native console output and show it as an overlay on top of your page content, in a level of detail that is almost as good as Google Chrome's Developer Tools.
Runs well on iOS Safari, as well as on other mobile browsers - for as long as JavaScript is enabled in the browser.
How to install: https://www.npmjs.com/package/vconsole
You will need NPM tools to install it, but not actually required to use NPM to build your project. You can simply install VConsole somewhere in a separate folder, and just copy-paste vconsole.min.js from it.
Once you inject it into your page, will look like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="vconsole.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript>let vc = new VConsole(); // this will initialize it.</script>
Visually is very appealing, you will see green button in lower-right corner of your page on your mobile/desktop browser, which will open console overlay.
Very neat!
Of course, it does not provide you with ability to select an element, see calculated css etc., but if you are looking for console output and some network report, this one is really easy to use.

AFAIK, For recent IOS versions there is no overall solution for debugging IOS from a PC.
You can however use one of the following solutions:
Display console messages in the browser itself. As described here and in Sinisa's answer.
The "remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter" doesn't work for debugging IOS 12+. It requires extra steps for IOS 11, and works for IOS 10 and perhaps older versions as well.
I use PrePros for CSS preprocessing and it has a built in server for mobile debugging and web inspector. But this is only good for local sites even still...
In my experience it is often not an issue with mobile Safari only but Safari in general. In these cases it can help to try the normal Safari (for Windows) and see if the bugs appear there. If so, it's much easier to debug something by this way.
2021 update:
The creator of RemoteDebug here. I've built a replacement for RemoteDebug called Inspect, which packages everything together in a pleasant experience and enables easy iOS web debugging from Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a few extra features like screencasting and wifi debugging.
http://inspect.dev
There are a couple of options I've come across for debugging on iOS. They're not full step-through debuggers, but they offer a JS error log, console and some inspection tools:
1. Eruda
By adding the following snippet to the top of your page:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/eruda"></script>
<script>eruda.init();</script>
You get an interactive set of developer tools similar to those in Chrome and Firefox. Here's a screenshot:
Available at https://github.com/liriliri/eruda
2. MiniConsole
This one I developed myself when I had not discovered another suitable option. It has less features, but it does the main things - capture JS errors, and allow you to run commands to inspect variables and object on your page.
Here's a demo:
It's activated by just placing this script tag on your page:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SimonEast/MiniConsoleJS#main/console.js"></script>
Open source, GPL licence. Available at: https://github.com/SimonEast/MiniConsoleJS/
3. vConsole
Another similar option that I've not really tried. Available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/vconsole with a live demo at http://wechatfe.github.io/vconsole/demo.html.
I haven't tried this on a PC, but you should be able to go to http://[DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS]:9999 to debug.
I am interested in developing an app for BlackBerry devices, and was wondering if they support the concept of demo or beta releases for their app developers? By this, I mean the ability to deploy a beta or demo version of my app to a limited/restricted audience, such as business partners, customers, external beta testers, etc. Nothing in their Testing and Deployment documentation indicates either way. Thanks in advance!
There isn't a built in beta process in App World for BlackBerry 10, but you can share the debug version of your app with your beta participants. When you create a debug token, you specify which PINs you want it to be valid for. The debug token will only install on a device with one of those PINs, and your app will only install on a device with your debug token on it. The token will only be valid for 30 days. You would have to deploy it with the command line tools and not App World.
This link on the BlackBerry Developer blog explains how to do it: http://devblog.blackberry.com/2012/04/debug-token/
It's for PlayBook, but the same process applies for BlackBerry 10 as well.
I actually don't know if RIM themselves have anything formal, but since I've always released BlackBerry apps on more than just the official App World store, I've used a beta testing system that is independent of RIM. Luckily, the legacy BlackBerry Java platform gives you the freedom to do this, free of charge. (Note that this answer is not about the upcoming BB10 platform!)
Over-the-Air (OTA) Installation
You can have your beta testers install your beta versions, Over-The-Air (OTA). Unlike iOS, for example, you aren't limited to a certain number of test devices, and you don't have to tell RIM what the unique identifiers of all the test devices are.
So, what I do is just put beta versions of my apps on a webserver, and send links to beta testers that allows them to download them. So, you are in control of who gets access. If you need security to limit the beta version to nobody except the official beta testers, then you are certainly free to add password protected logins to your webserver. That works the same way it would for any other secure web content.
If you do this (OTA), here are a few references:
http://www.blackberryinsight.com/2008/07/08/howto-setup-an-apache-webserver-to-deliver-blackberry-ota-applications/
Blackberry over the air installation
https://stackoverflow.com/a/10307074/119114
There are a couple steps to be aware of:
You normally just upload a .cod file to BlackBerry App World. If you want to deploy an app to your own webserver, you also need the .jad file. A JAD file is basically just a descriptor of the app, that can redirect a BlackBerry browser to the .cod file for installation. Your build process is already probably generating the .jad file for you, in the same output directory where it generates your .cod files.
You may need to configure your webserver to properly setup MIME types for files with a .jad extension. If you use Apache, then this is what you would put in your httpd.conf file:
AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad
you may also need to add a MIME type definition for the .cod type, too
AddType application/vnd.rim.cod .cod
If you don't have access to the web server's httpd.conf file, but can place the JAD and COD in your own user directory, then you can configure the MIME types in a local .htaccess file.
Depending on your web server configuration, there may be a couple more steps necessary. Check the OTA links I provided above.
Desktop Installation
Another option is to simply email your beta versions to beta testers, and have them install on their devices using BlackBerry Desktop Software. I don't do this, but it is another way to accomplish the same thing. For this, you use the .cod file, and also the .alx file, which is also generated by the normal BlackBerry build process.
Note that some of the project properties that get put into the .alx or .jad files are things that you don't need to worry about if you only deploy the .cod file directly to BlackBerry App World. If you use one of the options (ALX for Desktop installation, or JAD for OTA), then I would recommend opening up the .alx or .jad file and just inspecting the values for correctness. They're normal text files, and most of the values should be self-explanatory. I believe all settings can be configured from inside your IDE. If you use the BlackBerry Eclipse plugin, right click on your project, select Properties and look around there.
Here are the official RIM docs on all your installation options
its not possible. When you publish your app in app world, it will be available to all users. So you cant set any special conditions like- available only to some people. Else make it in un published mode. Then only users with sandbox id can access your app.
