Solana Mobile Shows How to Start Seeker Development — Without a Device
Solana Mobile published an official tutorial for getting into Seeker app development: set up an Android emulator, configure Solflare on devnet, fund it with devnet SOL — development starts without physical hardware.
What Happened
Solana Mobile published an official video tutorial for getting started with Seeker app development. The guide — presented with developer beeman — walks through three steps: setting up an Android emulator, configuring the Solflare wallet on devnet, and funding the test environment with devnet SOL. The goal per Solana Mobile: keep the entry barrier for Seeker apps as low as possible.
What It Means
The path runs entirely through the emulator — developing for the Seeker smartphone requires no physical device. The combination of emulator, devnet wallet, and test SOL covers the full development loop: build the app, test wallet interaction, execute transactions on the test network.
One important detail: the entire guide operates on devnet — the test network with valueless test tokens. Mainnet keys or real wallets don’t belong in an emulator test environment.
The Context
The Seeker ecosystem recently made headlines mostly on the user side — for instance with the SKR claim of the second Seeker Summer round. The dev guide addresses the other side: the people building apps for the device ultimately determine what carries the ecosystem.
