How do I simply run an ubuntu touch app from the terminal?

Solution 1:

If you already have your qml file on the phone, it's pretty easy. All you have to do is to call qmlscene with an extra argument.

  1. Start a connection from your desktop/laptop with phablet-shell.

  2. Run qmlscene with --desktop_file_hint, example:

    $ qmlscene --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/dialer-app.desktop $HOME/Documents/myfile.qml
