In this scenario I have to manually create an emulator for each Android version. Would be wonderful if will be a kind of "Emulator Cloud" in order to reduce the testing time. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 7, 2014 #4 Except of the layout you do not really need to test your app on all devices. Note that there are such test clouds available. Though I don't think that it is worth the time dealing with it. Emulators are not reliable so you will mostly waste time handling all kinds of emulator issues. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 7, 2014 #8 If it isn't using any Android 4.4 only features. Of course that there can be issues with specific devices. Especially if you are using features such as the camera. The problem is that even if you find that the camera doesn't work with a specific HTC device. There isn't much that you can do about it...
