This is no longer our preferred approach - where possible we prefer to distribute via AppCenter - see below. |
To test the iOS app, you will need to be set up with an account on TestFlight with one of our HD partners.

Once you are registered, you can get access to the App using the TestFlight app on any iOS device that uses you Apple ID.
iOS (via AppCenter)
iOS apps can be distributed via AppCenter.
For this to work:
The UDID of the phone you wish to test on must be included in the App code.
This looks like a good way to determine your phone’s UDID if you don’t already know it: https://get.udid.io/
You will need access to AppCenter
If you have a new device that you want to test on, post on the testing_gaen slack channel, and tag Matt Buckley, including the UDID of the device you want to test with.
See below for access to App Center
Android
There are several steps to getting set up to test on Android
You need your google account to be whitelisted for for testing GAEN.
Once this is done, on your test device, go into Settings > Google > Covid-19 > Debug mode > and enable "Bypass app signature check".

Now you should be up & running!
Accessing App Center
To get access to AppCenter (for iOS or Android), post on the testing_gaen slack channel, and tag Dave Runkle. He will add you to AppCenter, and also add you to the “Internal QA” test group, which will give you access to builds suitable for QA as soon as they are available.
Verification Codes
For testing, it’s likely that you will also want the ability to generate Verification Codes.
To do this, you need access to (yet another) server.
