Adds a Devices chapter to the Remote Dev Environments docs, covering the two ways to use an iOS simulator or Android emulator on RDE.

New pages (docs/bitrise-rde/devices/)

  • Virtual devices: what a simulator/emulator on RDE is, device session vs. device preview link, supported platforms and app builds.
  • Device sessions: creating one from the RDE UI, CLI, MCP server, and API; device options; readiness states; the browser device view; driving the device; the guides shipped for AI agents; lifecycle differences.
  • Device preview links: how links work; the Device Preview CI Step with iOS and Android Workflow examples alongside Deploy to Bitrise.io; minting from the CLI, an AI assistant, and the API; link options; what the recipient sees; security and limits.

Cross-linking

Pointers (no retelling) from the RDE landing grid, overview, key concepts, FAQ, CLI, MCP server, UI, connecting, templates, and API pages, plus the Workspace API token page's product-access list. The two new terms are added to the glossary page, glossary.json, and llms.txt. A device icon is registered for the new sidebar category.

Notes for reviewers

  • The Device Preview Step is not in the Step Library yet, so the examples reference it by Git URL. Switch to the Step ID once it's published.
  • Source link checker and an English production build pass with no broken links or anchors.

Add a Devices chapter to the Remote Dev Environments docs:

- Virtual devices: what a simulator/emulator on RDE is, device session vs.
  device preview link, supported platforms and app builds.
- Device sessions: creating one from the RDE UI, CLI, MCP server, and API,
  device options, readiness states, the browser device view, driving the
  device, and the guides shipped for AI agents.
- Device preview links: how links work, the Device Preview CI Step with
  iOS and Android Workflow examples, minting from the CLI, an AI assistant,
  and the API, link options, what the recipient sees, security and limits.

Cross-link the chapter from the RDE landing page, overview, key concepts,
FAQ, CLI, MCP server, UI, connecting, templates, and API pages, and from
the Workspace API token page. Add the two terms to the glossary and llms.txt,
and a device icon for the new sidebar category.

Groups the device-session creation intro under a new "Using virtual
devices" section, turns the RDE UI procedure into a full step list
(open New session, pick a stack, then the device-specific steps),
clarifies the CLI/API snippets, and explains why the Device Preview
Step needs an uploaded artifact. Also fixes the Workflow Editor-style
tabs overflowing their background when there are more than two of
them, by letting tab widths shrink instead of forcing a fixed
min-width.
