A faked network layer doesn't sound appealing. If I read this right you require 
an efficient response from the server component.

During development can you not target a local httpd instance that doesn't 
support the full API but simply returns an acknowledgment/error response?

You could even build such a responder into your own app and activate it only 
for development builds.
