Test Android Platform Digitise apps

To test an Android Platform app, you first need to publish the app to the App Server running on your development PC and then you can download it to a test device connected to your development PC via a wireless or Bluetooth connection. The test device will need to have a copy of the standard Digitise Apps Client installed from which you can download your apps and subsequent updates for testing.

Updates will need to be published to the same App Server and can then be downloaded to the device for testing. You can use the Publish to Server option to publish your app and updates to your test App Server.

 

For details of how to install the standard Digitise Apps Client see Install Digitise Apps Clients and Digitise apps to Mobile Devices.

For details of how to download apps to your device within the Client see Download & Update Apps in the Android Standard Client.

 

If you are creating Standalone Apps, you might find it easier during development to test using the standard Client and then when you are happy with your app, you can create a test Standalone App to try before deploying it to your users. Note that for testing purposes you can sideload a store app to a test device in the same way as an enterprise app – you don't need to upload it to the Google Play Store for testing.

If you have the Android Studio available, you can also run a test version of the Digitise Apps Client and test your Standalone Apps using the simulators supplied with this Studio.
