Command prompt interface
Heeding to the growing demands, pCloudy brings to you the command line Device Tunnel interface which helps developers to build their Android or iOS apps and put it to test on a real device as if the device is connected to their local system. Now, real devices on cloud can be accessed by running few commands on the command line interface.
Pre-requisites
- JDK 8 and above.
- Android-sdk latest version.
Jar download path

This will be a one-time activity and need not be repeated again.
Steps to Run the Jar
Step 1: Run the device tunnel jar by passing the cloud url, user name and api key
Eg: java –jar pCloudy_DeviceTunnel.jar https://device.pcloudy.com test@pcloudy.com skdflj4tlko46lsa
Note: Mention the device tunnel jar path where you store the downloaded pCloudyDeviceTunnel.jar
