Enter a host URL and click GO.
You can test an app login after entering the login URL and then click GO.

Analyzing Results

With this Browser app, you can validate your connectivity status and the results of your mobile apps reaching the hosts that they need to reach. If you need any assistance with troubleshooting and/or analyzing the results email support@appdome.com.

Crawl provides details on which URLs/hosts are accessed on the path to the URL you are going to.

Verify if this host is reachable to mobile apps by viewing results of the webpage when going to a URL.
Validate app login results to see what is required for app login configuration.
