Proxygen 3.0

Proxygen update 3.0 is here! Here's what's new:

  • Send iOS device traffic to a paired Mac. Just pair your iOS app with a remote Proxygen Mac app. Then select Send to Mac in the iOS app launch screen to start a remote session with the Mac app. iOS device traffic will be sent to the Mac even when then app is in the background. Intercept and edit requests and responses in the Mac app before they are forwarded by the iOS device. It works like magic.
  • Proxygen has an integrated test tool that automates sending of requests. Modify your requests by replacing placeholders with test payloads. Insert numbers, dates or character combinations. Flip bits and bytes. All with the power or tens of parallel worker threads.

Other improvements:

  • Redesigned Editor tool which has a rewritten network engine.
  • Transform tool has new operations and supports binary data.
  • Diff tool now supports both text and binary content.
  • Automatic handling of binary messages across the app.
