Re: [Aerogear-users] Testing push in Cordova

Just to throw my 2c in here. We test push notifications on the Genymotion emulator. Out of the box Genymotion does NOT support notifications but its pretty easy to get notifications working on Genymotion. We used this page http://inthecheesefactory.com/blog/how-to-install-google-services-on-geny... to get it working. This works with all the commercial push providers we have checked out. We have not found a way to get Android 6 working with push on Genymotion but since Android 6 is still preview on Genymotion its not an issue for us. However we haven’t found that deploying to a real device (Nexus 5) to be much slower than Genymotion. We’re happy to deploy to any as its pretty speedy either way. Unclear as to why deploying to a real device is such a problem, we develop on iPhone and Android using Cordova and even though I like the iPhone, the development and debugging tools on a real Android device are excellent and fast. When we have a real problem, we tend to ignore Xcode and Safari and the iPhone and debug it on a real Android device. We don’t have any real issues, though we always want things to be quicker.
