Abstract: A method for deploying an application file from a development station directly to a mobile device is provided. The development station is configured to execute operations including the receiving of a list of mobile devices registered with an integrated development environment (IDE) application that is executed on the development station. The method further includes selecting a mobile device from the list mobile devices and selecting the application file to be deployed to the mobile device. The deploying of the application file to the mobile device triggers methods of a plug-in application. The plug-in application is configured to execute operations including the establishing of a wireless connection between the development station and the mobile device. Upon establishing the wireless connection, the plug-in application triggers the transferring of the application file to the mobile device over the wireless connection.
