Could you add an option to set the ambient light in the iOS app (Live vieuw)? When there is no scene recorded the only way to see something is with a console connected.

The Mobile app opens the Alpha view and follows the ambient lighting settings made for it.

Do you think you could describe your workflow a bit so I can understand it better?

I understand now why it was so dark. Would you consider taking the ambient light level from the view that has an active live view in the mac/pc app? When multiple views have a live view the setting of the Alpha view if that is a Live view) wins over the Beta or Gamma (if either of those have a Live view), the Beta wins over the Gamma, etc.

No, that will result in unpredictable and confusing behaviour.

Could youconsider to make it more discoverable? If you (like me) never out the live view on the alpha window, you'd never see anything in the iOS app unless you have made snapshots.
