Emulate Web View Documentation
App Testing
This page is intended for developers testing how Emulate’s Web View behaves when triggering app-to-app deep links (e.g., launching the Tesla app) from within a native mobile app’s embedded web browser.
Why This Matters
On some Android devices, embedded web views may block or fail to properly handle deep links such as tesla:// or spotify://. It's important to verify that these links behave as expected in your mobile environment.
This page helps you verify:
- That the Emulate Web View loads properly inside your app
- That external app links are triggered correctly from a web view
- That your app handles fallback behavior when the deep link fails or is unsupported
How To Use
- Open the Emulate Web View in your mobile app using a valid JWT token.
- Implement a link in your app that points to: https://dev.emulate.energy/webview/tesla-test
- Navigate to that link inside your app and click the Open Tesla App button.
If the Tesla app is installed and your platform allows it, it should open directly. Otherwise, nothing will happen, or the browser may show an error or prompt.
⚠️ Some embedded browsers may block deep link navigation entirely. For best results, test on a physical device with your production app.
