Getting Started

Install the Mavster macOS app

Download Mavster, drag it to Applications, and grant the single permission it asks for on first launch.

Mavster ships as a standalone macOS app. Installation is a single drag-to-Applications and one permission prompt — simulators and emulators need no macOS permissions at all.

Download and install

  1. Download the latest Mavster build from the link your account email points to (or the Mavster website if you signed up directly).
  2. Open the downloaded .dmg.
  3. Drag Mavster.app into the Applications folder.
  4. Eject the disk image.

First launch

Open Mavster from Applications. macOS will ask you to confirm an app downloaded from the internet — click Open.

On first launch Mavster will request:

  • Local Network — so it can discover paired physical iOS and Android devices over Bonjour. This is the only macOS permission Mavster needs; simulators and emulators run without any.

Click Allow on the prompt and you're through. If you miss it or want to verify, see macOS permissions.

Mavster on first launch with the macOS Local Network permission prompt visible, and the System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network pane with Mavster toggled on.

You're in

Once permissions are granted, Mavster opens to its main window. Next:
