Before Releasing

The tests below can be conducted at any time in the development process to ensure consistency across bug fixes and feature implementations. However, release candidate testing must be prepared following the steps below:

  1. Export and sign release candidate APK
  2. Prepare testing device according to one of the following scenarios:
    • For testing new installs, remove all official and development builds from the device
    • For testing upgrades, make sure the device only has an official build published on the Play store
  3. Transfer and install release candidate APK to testing device

IMPORTANT: Release candidate tests should NEVER be performed with a debug or development build or by updating the app from a debug or development build.
