Developer Connection How to enable and use the Pebble Developer Connection to install and debug apps directly from a computer. tools-and-resources 3

In order to install apps from the local SDK using the pebble tool or from [CloudPebble]({{ site.links.cloudpebble }}), the Pebble Android or iOS app must be set up to allow a connection from the computer to the watch. This enables viewing logs and installing apps directly from the development environment, speeding up development.

Follow the steps illustrated below to get started.
