You can't access Lightning Experience - Solved

You can't access Lightning Experience error - Solved

Usually, Salesforce error messages are pretty self-explanatory.

However, this one the other day took a little leg work so I wanted to capture it.

I was creating a new Visualforce page in a customer's ORG and went to the one/one.app shortcut to preview the page as it would appear on a mobile device.
You can't access Lightning Experience 

If you haven't come across one/one.app before it's worthing checking out this blog post as previewing the mobile version of your new page in your normal browser is a huge time saver.

However, on this occasion Salesforce was giving me this error.

You can't access Lightning Experience error message
The error message read: 

"The page you're trying to access is available from the Salesforce1 mobile app only. Please try again from a supported mobile device. Need help? Ask your Salesforce admin."

Lightning Enabled?

After a bit of research, I found that the one/one.app only works now if you have enabled the new Lightning Experience (even if you have not deployed it to your users).

To enable the Lightning Experience I navigated to the Lightning Experience menu and activated the bottom option "Enable the New Salesforce Experience".

After activating lightning the mobile version of my new page displayed correctly - result!
