Shareable Test Links for Smooth Debugging
Currently the way preview on device works is to pair the snapchat account and send the lens to the device. Which works good but not efficient when I want to send the realtime updates to other folks/clients to test on their devices. Also sometimes I want to compare two versions of my lens one before changing and one after changing something. With shareable links all this can be streamlined with each link being unique to that version of the lens plus easily shareable with other folks.

This is a really good feedback on this. We have had discussions on this before. Nothing planned yet, but we will consider this more. Thanks!

Please give us better or at least similar and easy to use method on testing lens in our mobile device like Effect House or Spark AR.
Sending quick and easy link or qr code to client and friends to test out should not be going unnecessary process like pairing.
Why you ask?
1. it's tedious and give no significant benefit whatsoever.
2. when we are working on multiple lenses, for different target (client, personal, challenge), we don't want to send everything to everyone.
3. we don't need drop down to the "preview lens" to choose to select to who we want it to send the test lens, we need just 1 for every time we generate, or 1 every lens project that we can easily send back and forth during development.
4. qr code is okay, but for testing, link is preferable and quicker to access while chatting, no need to open camera first and so on. just one link to automatically open the app, load the lens, and thats it.
5. (optional) wired usb or wireless phone connection to Lens Studio simulator to test out: World/Plane Tracking, Marker/Snapcode/Target/Image Tracker, VFX particles. -

Thanks alot for the consideration! This would definitely speed up the feedback flow with the client projects especially
