Remote development from Android/iOS
Hello Team,
I hope this message finds you well!
I'm reaching out to see if there is an application or tool available that would allow me to connect to the Rider IDE from a mobile device.
Let me explain: when I'm out of the office and in a hurry, I often resort to using a remote desktop connection to access a Windows PC to open Rider and write code. However, this method can be quite cumbersome at times.
On other occasions, I use a remote server with Visual Studio Code installed on an Ubuntu server. I establish an HTTP connection from my Android tablet to make quick fixes.
It would be incredibly beneficial to have an option to install a headless version of Rider on a server, allowing me to connect from anywhere using a browser or a native client app on Android/iOS devices.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!
PD: I didn't find the Rider forum
Best regards

Hi Pablomedeross ,
Regrettably, mobile clients for remote development are not implemented yet, please upvote this issue to follow further status updates: IJPL-168786 iOS/Android Remote Development feature.
Here's a link to the Rider forum. If you hold a commercial license, please also feel free to contact us via a support request
Hey there!
Totally hear you on the struggle with remote desktop – it’s not the smoothest experience when you're on the go. While Rider doesn’t currently have a native headless server mode like VS Code does, a lot of folks have been looking for something similar.
In the meantime, one workaround some devs use is setting up a remote JetBrains Gateway connection, which allows connecting to a remote backend where Rider is installed. It's not quite browser-based, but it can help reduce the load on your mobile device. You might also want to check out getmods or similar tools that could assist in customizing your setup for mobile workflows.
Hopefully JetBrains adds a more mobile-friendly solution soon!
On my Xiaomi Tab 6, the only way you could do this is to install Linux via Proot Distro.
I have Arch Linux running locally, with WebStorm on it.
For your Rider, Gateway is a good choice for saving resources. But I'll test a local installation on the distribution.
