Introduction
So you have built a wonderful application but how to test it.
Or do you want to test you application on a specific device.
Let us meet your new friendly developer tool HMS Toolkit. This tool provide us the functionality of Cloud Debugging.
HMS Toolkit Installation:
If you have not yet installed HMS Core Toolkit then please go to below link to download the latest version of it before proceeding further into the article.
https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/development/Tools-Library/toolkit-download-0000001050148172
Once downloading is done for the plugin you can directly install it via Install Plugin from disk option.
After installation it should show like below.
By the time of writing this article the latest version was 3.0.1.300.

Let’s Start with Cloud Debugging
Step by step I will guide you on how you can use this tool to test and debug your application without a real Huawei Device.
Step 1: Go to HMS and click Cloud Debugging as shown below.
Cloud debugging needs a user login in order to provide access to real devices. Hence you will be redirected to a URL where you need to confirm your identity for a successful login.
Step 2: Login and allow the service.
Once the service is allowed you will get a success message and your android studio will get access to real remote devices.
Step 3: If this screen is not opened click on cloud debugging in right sidebar.
Filters are available as highlighted below to get a specific device.
You can also check the availability of device by checking Available Devices
Once the list of device is available choose any one and proceed.
Step 4: Below should be the result after filter selection. Click Run and start the device.
A device should appear which can be accessed by sidebar. Default testing time is 2 Hours but if your testing require more time you can choose the same device once again after it gets released automatically.
Step 5: Let us run one application to see how it is performing on Cloud Debugger.
Let us see what all configurable options are given to us with this cloud debugger.
Screen Resolution:
Different resolution for a device are mentioned.
My recommendation – If your internet connection is good then go for higher resolution.
Screen Size:
You can also control screen size between 75%, 100% and 125%. To do that see the below screenshot.
Apart from this all three navigation buttons are provided to you for better control.
Conclusion
I hope you this article had given some insights in cloud Debugging.
In case you face any issue in the installation process do comment.
PS: You can also use this while presenting your screen, it doesn’t consume resources like how android emulator would do.

Its very interesting tool but when am trying to connect through cloud debugging am get below error

Overview
We've grown accustomed to the hassle of connecting our devices to the Wi-Fi networks in new locations, which can be an annoyance at best, and a major frustration at worst. But perhaps more importantly, this process also comes with the risk of password leakage. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to connect our devices to Wi-Fi networks on an automatic basis, rather than having to manually enter the password each time?
HUAWEI Nearby Service offers a Wi-Fi sharing feature, which once integrated, equips your app to connect users on a wide range of smart devices to the Wi-Fi networks that they encounter.
Wi-FiShareDemo
Here, we've used Wi-FiShareDemo as an example, which has integrated the Wi-Fi sharing function in Nearby Service. Now, we'll show you the core code for the app, and how the app can be run.
Preparing Tools
One Huawei phone (The phone for sharing Wi-Fi must be a Huawei phone, and be connected to Wi-Fi.)
One Android device (The device to be connected to Wi-Fi must run Android 5.0 or later and have HMS Core installed, and can be a phone or a TV box.)
Android Studio (3.X or later)
Creating an app
Import the source code to Android Studio.
Register as a Huawei developer.
Create an app in Huawei AppGallery. For details, please refer to HUAWEI Developers-App Development. Note that you will need to download the agconnect-services.json file, generate the signing certificate, and save both to the app directory.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Run the app in Android Studio and install it on the test devices.
Procedures
After configuring the code and completing the installation, perform the following steps.
1.Start Wi-FiShareDemo on B, and tap Connect Wi-Fi.
2.Start Wi-FiShareDemo on A, and tap Share Wi-Fi.
3.On A, select the phone that will share Wi-Fi, make sure that the verification codes on both phones are the same, and tap ALLOW.
4.On B, tap ALLOW in the dialog box that is displayed to authorize the Wi-Fi connection.
Core Code
You can view the source code of the app in GitHub. In this app, the WifiShareHelper.java class is encapsulated based on the Nearby Service APIs. Only the APIs requestWiFiConfig and shareWiFiConfig for WifiShareHelper.java are used to connect to and share Wi-Fi.
requestWiFiConfig
// The device request to connect WiFipublic void requestWiFiConfig() { Log.d(TAG, "requestWiFiConfig"); mWifiShareEngine.startWifiShare(mWifiShareCallback, WifiSharePolicy.POLICY_SET) .addOnFailureListener(e -> Log.e(TAG, Objects.requireNonNull(e.getMessage())));}
shareWiFiConfig
// The device to share wifipublic void shareWiFiConfig() { Log.d(TAG, "Start to share WiFi"); mWifiShareEngine.startWifiShare(mWifiShareCallback, WifiSharePolicy.POLICY_SHARE) .addOnFailureListener(e -> Log.e(TAG, Objects.requireNonNull(e.getMessage()))); showListView(); setListViewListenerMode();}

To download the demo and sample code, please go to GitHub.
To resolve integration issues, please go to Stack Overflow.
After an app is launched, the app update function checks whether there is a later version available on AppGallery. If so, a pop-up is displayed, asking the user whether to update the app.
After you have integrated Cocos SDKHub, the function will use the SDK to check for app updates.
If your joint operations game is rejected for not integrating the app update function, check this post.
Before you integrate the app update function, you need to integrate Cocos SDKHub. (Reference: Integrating HUAWEI Game Service Based on Cocos SDKHub — Integrating Cocos SDKHub)
After that, here’s how you integrate the function:
1.Add the following code by referring to the official document:
JavaScript:
checkUpdate:function(){
var params = {
"showUpdateDialog": "1",
"forceUpdate": "0"
}
console.log("checkAppUpdate button pressed");
sdkhub.getUserPlugin().callFuncWithParam("checkAppUpdate",params);// Call the checkAppUpdate API.
}
2. Associate the code with a specified button and select the checkUpdate method as the tap event.
3. If you see the error information informing you that the callFuncWithParam method is not found during a simulator test, just test the packaged file on a real device.

}
4. If the following information is displayed,
the function is integrated.
XML:
D/jswrapper: JS: checkAppUpdate pressed
I/updatesdk: UpdateSDK version is: 2.0.6.302 ,flavor: envrelease ,pkgName: com.cocos2d.xxx
D/HwConnectivityServiceEx: set 10323 wlan0 value false
I/NetworkKit_a: 27569-28056|null|com.huawei.hms.framework.network.grs.a|a|22|get url from sp is not empty.
I/DeviceUtil: UpdateSDK Get url from GRS_SDK Success!https://store1.hispace.hicloud.com/hwmarket/api/
I/StoreTask: UpdateSDK call store responsecode: 200
If the function passes the real-device test, the error displayed in the simulator test may be caused by compatibility failure.
For a mobile game that needs to be forcibly updated, pay attention to:
1. Select Force update when editing information for the new game version in AppGallery Connect.
(See step 8 in the official document)
2. Set forceUpdate in the input parameters to 1.
This way, you have successfully integrated the app update function.

Thank you for your liking.
The App Linking service provided by AppGallery Connect, is a great cross platform App link generation service. The SDK supports both Android and iOS. For non-Huawei Android phones, the link can be set to redirect users to the phone’s app market, as well as support for fallback URLs.
No matter what device the user is on a Huawei AppGallery Connect App Link will work and direct that user to the best method for installing the app on their device.
But here is the question, does the links create have a validity period? If they do how long can they last?
The link of App Linking can be created in AppGallery Connect manually or via code after your app has been integrated with the SDK. Is there a difference between the validity periods of the links created using the two different methods?
Taking a look at the API reference we find that the SDK for Android and the SDK for iOS both have an API to set the validity period of the link:
For Android: The API is setExpireMinute, and is a time accurate to the minute. A link is valid for two years by default, and the minimum validity period is 5 minutes.
For iOS: The API is expireMinute, and is a time accurate to the minute. A link is valid for two years by default, and the minimum validity period is 5 minutes.
However, there is no description about the validity period of the link on the link creation page in AppGallery Connect.
And there was also an Archive button, what does this do?

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Links created in AppGallery Connect are permanently valid if unarchived. Archived links are still valid within one year.
After you click the Archive button, links will be archived but their data will not be traced.
Archived links can still be viewed within seven days. You can filter the links in AppGallery Connect by selecting Archived in last 7 days. You can also click Unarchive in the Operation column to cancel archiving.
