Connect through Port Forwarding

Steps:

  • Set up ADB or iProxy depending on what platform your game is:

    • If your game is running on an Android platform then make sure you have ADB and it is added in the path. Forward the port using the following command: adb [-s UDID] forward tcp:local_port tcp:device_port

    • If your game is running on an iOS platform then make sure you have iProxy installed. Forward the port using the following command: iproxy LOCAL_TCP_PORT DEVICE_TCP_PORT [UDID]

  • Provide the IP address of the machine that the device running the game is connected to.

  • Set the port on which the AltTester Unity SDK is running (it’s displayed on the AltTester Unity SDK popup on your game). The default port number is 13000.

Note

Take into account any Port Forwarding you might have set up when setting the IP and Port.
