Mobile App Simulator for Windows

HI 

I am developing a ServiceNow mobile App and using my Android phone for the test.

Instead of I would like to use a desktop windows simulator or maybe a online service

What are the recommendations? Something that does not require some much configuration and a lot of system requirements

Curious question...what is the app used into the Mobile Apps Office video from ServiceNow Community Channel ?

 

Thanks in advance

While I don't have an answer to your Windows simulator question, I can answer the part about what's being used in the video.

The presentation you see in that video is an iPhone connected via USB cable and viewed via QuickTime. (The give-away clue is that the time is always 9:41 - it must mean something to someone at Apple.)

I should also note that I use something similar on Android called "AirDroid" to do remote presentation (when I have really good WiFi). If not, I fall back to using something like Zoom. It's not a simulator, as you still need a device running the OS, app loaded, etc), but it works well when you need to present to others.

My mobile-first development / configuration with the Now and Agent Mobile have moved away from simulators.  Simulators are just that, not the real mobile experience.  

Instead use Webex or Zoom from the Apple or Android mobile phone and share the screen with the meeting.  That way users see the real mobile applications based on a real operating system and device hardware.  

I actually use both an Android Samsung Galaxy 10e and an Apple iPhone 11 for current demonstrations.

I have never had a problem with performance against non-production servicenow instance vms.
