Summary

iOS

  • Provide UDID of your phone to MattBuckley, and ask it to be added to the builds.

Android

  • Provide Google ID to Dave Runkle, and ask to be Whitelisted.

For both

  • Ask Dave Runkle to register you on AppCenter, in the “Internal QA” test group

  • Ask Art Gibson to give you access to our Verification Server.

iOS (via HD Partner)

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.

Until an HD partner gets approved for Public Beta, the number of testers they can have on TestFlight is very limited, so we may be limited in how many people we can give access in this way.

To get access, post on the testing_gaen slack channel, and tag Matt Buckley, with the Apple ID that you want registered.

This is a 2 step process: with you having to acknowledge an email at each stage.

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

  1. You need your google account to be whitelisted for for testing GAEN.

  2. Once this is done, on your test device, go into Settings > Google  > Covid-19 > Debug mode > and enable "Bypass app signature check". 

  3. You can get hold of APK files from App Center

For step 1, post on the testing_gaen slack channel, and tag Dave Runkle with the Google ID that you want registered.

See below for step 3.

Once you have the APK file, you need to “sideload” it onto your Android device. If you are unfamiliar with that process, see here: https://androidcommunity.com/how-to-sideloading-apps-on-your-android-device-20180417/

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.

https://verify-gaen.extremesolution.com/home

To be able to create an account on this server, you’ll need your email added to an approved list. Send a DM to Art Gibson on Slack, and he will add your email to the list.
