Multi device Guard::LiveReload with Chrome Android

  1. Copy the following Gemfile, Guardfile, config/environments/development.rb, then bundle
  2. Configure your Android devices (see https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging?hl=it#reverse-port-forwarding)
  3. In Chrome port forwarding settings set two forwards:
    • 8080 => localhost:3000

  4. Connect as much Android devices as possible (like this)
  5. Enjoy!
