Test the preview on your phone
Open a temporary preview link and check real touch controls.
What you need
A successful preview build and a phone that can open its link. This flow is unavailable for Mature previews.
Steps
- Run the latest project files and check the preview status.
- Choose Test on your phone.
- Scan the QR code with your phone camera, or use Copy link and open the link on your phone.
- Check the expiry displayed in the dialog.
- Play the game using touch. Check that buttons are reachable, text is readable and the game fits the screen.
- Try starting, losing and restarting, and rotate the phone where the game supports it.
- Return to the Studio to fix anything that fails.
- Build the changed project and make a new phone link for the build you now want to test.
What happens next
The link opens the build named by the preview, not an automatically updating view of future edits. Anyone with the link can open it until it expires or becomes unavailable.
If the link fails
Check expiry first. If the build is no longer linkable, Run again and make a new link. Follow the limit or disabled message if a new link cannot be created.
A desktop phone-shaped frame is useful for layout but does not prove that touch works on the physical device.
