How to connect your app to Studio using Wandkit for live updates during development.

What Wandkit Is

Wandkit connects your app to Studio during development. It enables hot reload, so changes in Studio appear instantly on your device.

The only required component is DevKit. It does not affect production builds.

Setup

Android

Requirements:

Android API level 26 or higher
Jetpack (AndroidX)
Initialized Nativeblocks Core SDK

Add dependency

dependencies {
    implementation("io.nativeblocks:nativeblocks-wandkit-android:1.2.0")
}

Initialize DevKit in your Activity (debug only, after Nativeblocks SDK)

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        NativeblocksManager.initialize(
            ...
        )

        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            val devKit = DevKit.Builder(this)
                .keepScreenOn()
                .autoConnect()
                .logTracking()
                .build()

            NativeblocksManager.getInstance().wandkit(devKit)
        }
    }
}

DevKit automatically handles notification permission requests using the provided Activity.

iOS

Requirements:

Swift 5.0 or higher
SwiftUI for UI development
iOS 15.0 or above
Initialized Nativeblocks Core SDK

Add package

.package(url: "https://github.com/nativeblocks/nativeblocks-wandkit-ios-sdk", from: "1.2.0")

Initialize DevKit (debug only, after Nativeblocks SDK)

import Nativeblocks
import NativeblocksWandkit

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    init() {
        NativeblocksManager.initialize(
            ...
        )

        #if DEBUG
        let devKit = DevKit.Builder()
            .keepScreenOn()
            .autoConnect()
            .logTracking()
            .build()

        NativeblocksManager.getInstance().wandKit(devKit)
        #endif
    }
}
