Most convenient mobile testing

Hi guys, is there some convenient way to test web apps on mobile, let's say iPad? My dream scenario would be like this:

  • Wireless!
  • Using Google Chrome dev tools just like it's possible with Safari
  • Sending entire content to mobile on request, without any overhead of deploying changes

In other words, I would just edit my code and then refresh on mobile. Is there any industry standard for such workflow?

The closest I've seen is Safari with mobile developer tools, but I need to host and deploy my app on public servers. Also, Safari dev tools are not as good as Chrome's imho.

Laravel Valet has sharing option which deploys the app to ngrok, you can use that to actually test user experience on mobile. That plus Chrome devtools.

Dev tools for mobile? I like it on Safari that I can actually inspect the real mobile content. It makes a difference from emulated rendering, which is often not the same. Is there something like that for Chrome?
