A method for provisioning a third party mobile device emulator from desktop provisioning software comprising the steps of:
- designating a common file space between the third party mobile device emulator and the desktop provisioning software;
- writing a provisioning file to the common file space from one of the third party mobile device emulator and the desktop provisioning software;
- wherein said writing steps includes:
- transferring a data file to the common file space;
- and once the transferring step is complete, writing an indicator file to the common file space;
- and
- reading the files from the other of the third party mobile device emulator and the desktop provisioning software.
A system for provisioning a third party mobile device emulator comprising:
- desktop provisioning software;
- the third party mobile device emulator;
- and
- a common file space accessible by both the desktop provisioning software and the third party mobile device emulator, said third party mobile device emulator and said desktop provisioning software being:
- configured to write data files to the common file space, followed by an indicator file to designate that the writing of the data file is complete;
- and
- configured to read the files from the common file space written by the other of the third party mobile device emulator and the desktop provisioning software.
