Adobe AIR Development

I use command line scripts to build, sign, and deploy apps (&debug tokens) to my devices but depending where I am (home/work/remote office) and depending on the device (3 PlayBooks, a BB10 dev alpha, and soon a BB10 phone, 4G LTE PlayBook?) deploying to the right device is challenging.

Does anyone have a script (batch, powershell, python, etc.) that will scan the local network 192.168.x.x for blackberry devices?

I'm just trying to automate as much of my dev process as possible to be able to spend more time productively coding apps.

You're so lazy.

I wonder how FlashBuilder does the detection? I'm guessing SSDP...few google searches haven't revealed anything promising though.

My build/deploy flow is all Windows batch files.  While I don't auto detect the addresses, I do have all of my scripts call a common one line script to set the IP address of the deploy target, so I can set it once per development session and in one and only one place.  I will have to think of something else if in the future I want to deploy to multiple devices in one dev session.

Yeah that's normally what I do but it's that 1 extra step when changing locations or devices that I'd love to simplify ;-)

steve, if you just plug in via USB it's always 169.254.0.X (I just leave X at default of 1). All my dev devices have same password, to simplify things.

Lazy I tell ya.

Steve,

I configure my various devices with fixed IP addresses on my wifi network. Then, on my development workstation, I add them to the hosts file with meaningful names.
