Preview your designs in real time on a device connected to your Mac system using a USB cable using the Adobe XD on mobile app.
-
Connect your mobile device to the USB port of the computer running Adobe XD on desktop. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of XD on desktop available on Creative Cloud.
Note:
Ensure that you use USB cables that transfer data. Some USB cables can be used to only charge your devices and cannot transfer data.
-
The artboard that is currently selected (or in focus) in Adobe XD on desktop is displayed on your device. All the changes you make to your designs are reflected in real time on your mobile device.
If you added wires creating interactions in Prototype mode, you can see the interactions work, just like in the Preview window on desktop.
Note:
Fonts are sent to your device when you preview on mobile. However certain font vendors do not allow for the transfer, display, and distribution of their fonts. You are responsible for ensuring that you respect the font license agreement between you and the font vendor.
While viewing a prototype on mobile, if the required font is not present on your device, you get an alert message. The fonts are substituted with available fonts.
