Once you've downloaded your app, you will need to test it.
The easiest way to test this on an Android device is simply to email the APK to yourself.
| Note: Some email servers may mark APK file extensions (when attached directly to the email) as a security risk, so check your spam folder if you don't get the email. |
Alternatively, you could also distribute it to yourself and your team via a sharing service like Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, etc.
Open this APK on your Android device, and it will prompt you to install the app. Depending on your security settings, your device may warn you that you're installing an app from unknown sources. This is normal when installing an app from an email. Allow this installation, and your app will be installed as normal.
You will then be able to open up your app on your Android device for testing.
Distributing your Android app can be done in a number of ways.
Common ways are:
The most appropriate method will be project dependant, however keep in mind that any of the normal app distribution methods can be used to distribute apps built by the BlinkMobile BuildBots.
