Where did Xamarin deploy my application


Total noob question. Xamarin studio is successfully deploying my application to my physical device, however I can't find "where" it is in the phone's file system. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'm hoping to get access to the SQLLite3 database file being created. I assume that will be in a program folder somewhere with the application's assemblies.

Thanks in advance...


Solution

  • Providing your application is in debug mode, here be some terminal witchcraft that will do this:

    1. Open a terminal window and connect to your device using adb: adb shell
    2. Change the shell user to your package: run-as your.package.name
    3. Get the full path to the current directory: pwd

    From here you can explore your applications deployment directory using ls and cd to find whatever it is that you need.
