Description

Hi

I would like to propose a feature request: Remote building/debugging.

The idea would be to be able to to configure a remote e.g. MacOSX host, which is used to build or start and emulator via e.g. ssh connection. "Cross-platform development" at its best ^^

An idea could be to provide an additional argument e.g. --host with an IP that is used to connect to. Of course, tns has to be installed on any host but it would make it easier to cross-deploy and test while staying in one working environment.

Thanks

Research direction

The issue names no files, commands, tests, or existing entry points; begin by surveying the CLI's build and debug flows and how a remote host could be configured. Clarify the scope of remote building, starting an emulator, SSH connection behavior, and the proposed --host argument. Define the supported workflow and tests before implementation.
