Nowa 3.10: Local run for cloud projects

Nowa 3.10 transforms how you test and deploy your apps. You can now run cloud projects directly on a local simulator or physical device — no cloning, no switching to local projects, with hot reload included. Combined with a brand-new Run & Deploy UI and major stability work, testing and shipping your apps has never been this simple.

New in This Version ✨​

  • 📱 Local Run for Cloud Projects This is the big one! You no longer need to create a local project or clone your cloud project just to test on a simulator or physical device. Nowa now generates temporary local files behind the scenes, so any cloud project can run locally — and hot reload works too. Every change you make in Nowa shows up on your device instantly.

  • 🚀 New Run & Deploy UI Every project now has Run and Deploy buttons in the top right, putting the whole flow in one place:

    • Run launches your app anywhere — inside Nowa, on a local simulator, or on your physical device.
    • Deploy ships your app to any platform, all from the same UI.

  • ☁️ Redesigned Deployment All deployment options now live in one place. Once your setup is done, you can deploy to any platform from the main window with a single click — no more hunting through menus.

  • 🎨 A Cleaner Layout Two refinements to give you more room to build:

    • Boards moved to the top right, making it easier to jump between boards and keeping the workspace cleaner.
    • Toolbar moved to the bottom, freeing up more space above for your work.

  • 🛠️ Major Stability Improvements We've done significant work under the hood across the entire platform, so everything should feel smoother and more reliable.
