How to connect Lucy Player​

Lucy Studio supports several ways to connect a device, so you can check the content you're building on a real device or a simulator in real time.

Automatic connection and detection​

  • Automatic network pairing: Devices on the same network as Lucy Studio pair automatically, with no extra setup.
  • Reconnection support: Once a device has connected even once, the system detects it automatically so you can reconnect in seconds.

Connect a local device (simulator or emulator)​

To connect a simulator or emulator running on your computer, follow these steps.

  1. Launch the lucy_player app inside the simulator or emulator you're using.
  2. Click the phone icon in the toolbar at the top right of Lucy Studio.
  3. In the 'Device sync' popup that appears, find the device you want to connect.
  4. Click the checkbox next to 'Connection' for that device.
  5. When the checkbox turns blue, the device is connected.

Connect an external device (iPhone, Android, and more)​

To connect a physical mobile device or another desktop computer, use the expanded list described below.

  1. Launch the lucy_player app on the physical test device you want to connect.
  2. In the Lucy Studio 'Device sync' popup, click the arrow icon below the "There are...devices" text to expand the list.
  3. Click the plus (+) icon next to the device name in the list.
  4. Once the device connects, it moves to the top of the popup and its checkbox turns blue.

Manual connection with a QR code​

If a device doesn't appear in the list automatically, connect it directly with a QR code.

  1. Launch the lucy_player app on the test device.
  2. Click the phone icon in Lucy Studio, then choose the "Connect with QR code" button at the bottom of the popup.
  3. Scan the QR code on screen with the app on your device, or enter the UUID below it manually.
  4. When the device model name appears and the checkbox turns blue, the connection is complete.

Manage and switch devices​

  • Disconnect: Click the active blue checkbox to turn it gray (inactive).
  • Switch devices: Click the checkbox of another device to switch to it immediately.
  • Multiple connections: Lucy Studio lets you connect several devices at once for testing.
