How to install applications on Redelcom devices with MacOS and Windows

In order to perform integrations with Redelcom terminals, you may need to install an Android application, such as RDCPass, or your own application that allows you to connect with RDCPass.

If you are working with MacOS or Windows as your operating system, adb (Android Debug Bridge) is the tool that will allow you to install applications on the terminals to communicate with RDCPass properly.

Below, we present a step-by-step guide to help you install adb on your MacOS and/or Windows computers and install your Android application.

How to install your Android App on MacOS

  1. Start by installing adb on your MacOS computer by running the following command in the computer's terminal:

terminal


brew install android-platform-tools;
  1. Once the installation is complete, test if adb detects the Redelcom device properly. To do this, connect it to the computer via USB and run the following command:

terminal


adb devices

If adb detects the device correctly, you will receive a response like the following.

  1. Finally, still from the computer's terminal, navigate to the folder where the Android application to be installed is located and execute the following command, replacing "prueba.apk" with the file name and the apk extension.

terminal


adb install prueba.apk

Once the installation process is complete, the response will be similar to the following:
