Advice on Testing

Watchapp/Face Developers Corner

So, I’m an avid Pandora user. I’ve vibe-coded a pandora remote control, which also requires a Android app.

Problem is, I only have two diff Android phones, no apple devices at all, and (right now) a PTS, PTR & PT to test with. Since it’s dependent on using Android intents to communicate with Pandora, I’m pretty sure I can’t use an emulator at all, and I would have no idea if I can use this method for Apple.

In addition, to get it on the Play store, I need at least 20 testers.

Should I just distribute the APK via a link from my personal website, ?

I.e. As the title says, looking for some advice.

(Background - I’m an experienced developer, just never done mobile or pebble dev before)

Probably just an APK on your website, Also open Source because I’m annoying and like open source things.

If you use GitHub, you could post a downloadable “Release” including a readme for what the heck to do with it. Not the approach.. but an approach.
