How to Install Android Test App Builds

Introduction #

Installing Android Test Builds is quick and simple using the Learndash App’s cloud-based build system. Each build includes your site’s configuration, branding, menus, and any custom code from GitHub.

This guide walks you through filtering Android Test Builds, installing via QR code, and troubleshooting common issues.

Filter for Android Test App Builds #

To find the build you want to install:

  1. In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Learndash App > Builds > Build History.
  2. Use the filter options at the top to select:
    • Platform: Android
    • Build Type: Test App
  1. Locate the completed build you want to install.

Each build card displays:

  • Build number
  • Status (e.g., Complete, Failed)
  • Platform type (Android)
  • Build type (Test or Release)
  • Date
  • Install Test App button

Install the Android Test App #

Once you’ve identified your build:

  1. Click Install on Android Device on the desired build card.
  2. Scan the displayed QR code using your Android device’s camera.
  3. Tap Download Application when redirected.
  4. When prompted, tap Install, then Open the app.

Troubleshooting and FAQs #

Q: Why doesn’t the QR code scan?
 A: Make sure your QR scanner or camera app has permission to access the camera. Try a different QR app if needed.

Q: I see “Install blocked” or “Unknown sources” error.
 A: Go to Settings > Security > Install unknown apps, then allow installation for your browser.

Q: The download failed or timed out.
 A: Check your internet connection and try again. If the build is over 30 days old, you’ll need to request a new one.

Q: Why did the new build replace my old one?
 A: Android apps with the same package name cannot coexist. Uninstall the old version first, or create a build with a unique package name.
