How to Edit Google Apps Scripts in you iPad


You may have probably tried this and never succeed. Everyone is mobile and you don't have with always a laptop. How portable it is. A laptop is still a laptop. A PC with flip covers that you need to carry around with large bag. For developers, you'll never know when a solution pops out from script bug. Or, when a great idea lights and you need to get right away and write codes. But, you're stuck with just a mobile device. An phone or an iPad perhaps.
Google Apps Script is a very scalable programming environment. As long as you have internet connection you are good to go. So, how do you edit a script in Google Apps Script with your iPad then?

The key is bookmarking. It's always a practice of mine to set aside a script file for the purpose of quick code writing. This step will be just for initial setup. You need to use your PC for this purpose.
  1. Go to your Google Drive.
  2. Click New>More>Google Apps Script - if missing, click "+ Connect more apps" and select from the list.
  3. Once created, bookmark the URL. 
  4. Send that URL to yourself. Or, create an online spreadsheet to log those URLs.
Now you have easy links to your Google Apps Script files. You can open it using your Chrome browser if your had it install in you iPad. Or, with Safari is fine as well.

The question is, do you have an iPad in the first place? Click Buy Now button below and take advantage of the full experience of Apple's flagship product. The latest iPad Pro. Enjoy it the the Magic Keyboard and your Google Apps Script coding is never been this portable.
