Testing my app on the phone shows an older version

I am building a mobile web app using Appery.

I can always test the latest version of the app in the browser just fine, but whenever I open it on my phone it gives me an older version so I can't test my changes.

I just select "View on Phone" option and scan the qr code to get the app URL opened on my phone.

This is really strange!

Hello! Could you clarify what do you mean on "I just select "View on Phone""? Where do you select "View on Phone" option?

It's right in your mobile preview browser... see screen shot. Image

same thing happens if I scan the qr code right inside the UI builder (drop-down next to Test button)

Oh, sorry:) looks like it's cache issue. Try to refresh page in mobile browser or try another browser on device.

I've been noticing the same thing, for example i changed html margins between html and image elements on a page and view this in testmode of browser and the changes are shown. If i scan the qr code with phone the changes aren't visible in the browser on the phone. I tried this for other things like imagesize with the same effect.

My first thought was browser cache, after clearing there was still the same effect. Its like viewing the page one step before changes. I also tried a different browser. After a short time (i dont know 5 min), the changes appear.

Hello! It's not reproducible for us on Android device. Could you clarify what device and OS version you use to test?

Hey, sure. I use a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with latest Android 4.3. I tried the test QR link on device with android browser and chrome mobile browser (cleared cache). On the desktop pc the firefox shows the changes right away. Usually the changes are present on device a few minutes later.

Hi Peter,

Do you reload a page or not?
