The easiest way to get started, installing it and testing the various features, is to open the WebIDE Open Hosted APP with this URL and install either in device or simulator:

Your first hosted App## Running it locally

Once you’re ready to get started developing, download the code and run it on a web server(Sample code use Github pages service), Using WebIDE to install the app in device or simulator .

Note: make sure that the paths in the manifest file are valid on your localhost – bear in mind that these paths are relative to the root of the web site they are being served at.

Also make sure to configure your server to send the manifest file with the right Content-type:

application/x-web-app-manifest+json.

This is, for instance, easy to set up in an .htaccess file in Apache:

AddType application/x-web-app-manifest+json .webapp
