I'm new to IBM Worklight and understand that Worklight has Geofencing capabilities and testing within the mobile simulator. Does Worklight have some way to test geofencing on actual devices, while still anaylzing location/wifi data?
For testing on actual devices, beyond physically moving the devices, you would have to use simulation tools available outside of IBM Worklight. For example, for iOS this would be in XCode and for Android you could either utilize a location simulation app, or embed mock locations yourself (see location testing on the Android development site).
Additionally, if you want more comprehensive testing, which includes the ability to simulate GPS as part of your tests, you may want to check out IBM Rational Test Workbench.

I wrote tests in Robot Framework with Appium. I test the same app on both Android and iOS.
I want to find out a cloud-based native mobile app testing vendor where (a) I can test the app on various mobile devices and (b) I could also run the tests in the cloud.
I am looking into perfecto, Kobiton and HeadSpin, which seem only to provide access to devices. Are there vendors that allow running tests in the cloud as well?
With BrowserStack you get to run your tests on 100% real mobile devices on our infrastructure via cloud.
While I cannot say about the others names mentioned, but with BrowserStack you can easily get access to 3000+ real devices which will help you to ensure your application is tested on a variety of different specification devices of various screen sizes and from different vendors.
With BrowserStack's devices you can easily switch between OS versions and other device specifications in a jiffy.

How to add a device to MobileFirst Operations Console ?
I face issue in identifying my device in the MobileFirst Operations Console.
Please let me know how to configure my device to be detected in the console .
The only feature related to "devices" is adding device simulation in the Console's Mobile Browser Simulator as described in the following user documentation topic: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.dev.doc/wl_studio_tools/topics/ttestwl.html?lang=en
The other feature related to devices is Device profiling, as described in the tutorial Getting Started tutorial: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/foundation/hello-world/introduction-to-mobilefirst-platform-operations-console/
Device profiling will be made possible after applications that are installed on simulators or devices are used and connect the MobileFirst Server. You can then create device profiling based on... devices.
i wanna test my game that uses google play services api(for realtime multiplayer). But i don´t have an android phone or tablet, i only use the emulator.
Is there a specific model of phone that i should buy to use google play services or will it work on any android device?
On emulators, there´s a "target name" called google APIS, so i was wondering about the device.
I have already made my game work on emulators, but even of ButtonClicker example, there´s a delay on the timer on one of the emulators and not on the other. Maybe i should try with a real device?
It will work on any Android phone (not Android compatible). Avoid devices like the Kindle Fire that are compatible, but not actually Android. If it has the Google Play app and it's running Ice Cream Sandwich or higher, you should be set.
The Nexus devices tend to be developer favorites, as they have no customization from carriers or manufacturers and are fairly cheap. Developer Editions would be a good alternative.
So I am developing a Sencha Touch application in Windows. I want to test how this is going to behave on iPhone/Android/BlackBerry phones.
I'd rather not make it public just to test it by navigating to it from each OS physically, although I will be doing that before our official release. How can I emulate the phones on windows. Is there anything I can use to emulate Blackberry/iPhone on a windows machine just to test how the web page is going to be rendered in those devices?
I know the Android emulator I can run through Eclipse, but what about the other two?
You need a Mac to run the iPhone/iPad simulator. Blackberry can be done on windows though: http://www.blackberry.com/developers/downloads/simulators/
You might also consider delivering them to these devices as apps using phonegap, which plays nicely with sencha touch.
If you just want to see how the app would look and behave while developing, just use Google Chrome. You can enable the very good 'developer tools' to do various checks.

In order to start developing applications using Sencha Touch, it is highly
recommended that you have a working web server where you can host your
application. It's possible to develop Sencha Touch applications, viewing local
folders with your web browser. Without a web server you won't be able to test
your application using any mobile devices.
You can run the application on your web browser by using:
http://localhost/your_app_folder
Using Safari web browser to examine your Sencha Touch application during
development, and the Safari Web Inspector is a huge part of that. Both Chrome
and Firefox have similar tools (Chrome Developer Tools and Firebug for Firefox),
but as iOS devices use Safari for their web browser.
I am developing an application with Flash Lite designed to run on Nokia S60 5th edition phones using the Flash Lite API Bridge Interface. The application uses the API Bridge to access the phones camera and upload functionality to take a photo, display it to the user then upload it to a server. I am using Flash CS4 Professional and Device Central to develop and test the interface.
Are there any emulators that will run my flash lite app and simulate the camera? What are my options short of getting a phone and installing my app every time I want to test something new?
