We really want to make the emulator a class A engineering platform for everyone</p> </blockquote><p>While the final emulator is still work in progress, we&rsquo;re continually seeing the improvements in finishing all the pieces to make it a first-class citizen for development, both for the platform itself and for app developers. However, as it stands today, the emulator is already functional, so I&rsquo;ve decided to prepare a quickstart guide to highlight the great work the Foundations and Phonedations teams (along with many other contributors) are producing to make it possible. While you should consider this as guide as a preview, you can already use it to start getting familiar with the emulator for testing, platform development and writing apps.</p>
