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
- Start by installing
adb
on your MacOS computer by running the following command in the computer's terminal:
terminal
brew install android-platform-tools;
- 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.
