Regarding "test" and "Debug" options in the Intel XDK

[Niharika_K_]

I have been using the Intel XDK for my HTML5 based app development. I find the tool extremely useful and helpful. It has reduced my development effort.

The XDK provides two options namely: "Test" and  "Debug"

Test option lets me to test the app via App viewer on my device

Debug option les me create the installable version of the app.

However I am concerned about my code being copied in this process. I would like to know

1. "Does Intel or any other third party get access to my code when I select either of the options (or for that matter any other option) from Intel XDK".  

2. Is my source code uploaded for backup or for any other purpose when I am using the Intel XDK for my development.

We host the latest builds of your applications in the cloud to allow for processes like App Preview to be able to function. App Preview pulls down the cloud copy of your build to make it able to viewable on your device through wifi or cellular signal. No third party has access to your source code that exists in the cloud. The only time we would ever take a look at your source code was if you instructed us to do so because you needed our help debugging your application.
