I would like to know whether there is any special setting needed for sending / receiving messages from mobile apps like IM, which connect to Neoload under the same WIFI network and using Neoload as proxy.
There's no special settings in NeoLoad in order to record a mobile application. However, you have to make sure that your mobile application uses HTTP/HTTPS procotol and can go through a proxy.
Otherwise you can use the tunnel mode recording. I would suggest you to look at the specific documentation regarding mobile testing with NeoLoad here.
Also it often happens so make sure that there's no firewall on the NeoLoad machine so your mobile can connect to the NeoLoad proxy.
Thanks Nouredine A.
I found that I can test normal mobile apps properly with the setting. However, for IM apps, e.g. whatsapp, I found that no messages can be sent out or received from mobile devices under the same setting. So I wonder whether there is any special setting needed for IM apps? or does Neoload support so? Thanks.
It seems that Whatsapp application uses XMMP protocol. So you may have to record the traffic using tunnel mode in NeoLoad instead of proxy mode. Have you tried it?
