Joining the RICOH Spaces Android Test Community on App Distribution

  • Updated

App Distribution is an Android service that allows testers to download and install test versions of RICOH Spaces.

If you have been selected as a RICOH Spaces tester on App Distribution, the service shall email you an invitation with instructions on how to install and test the build.

  1. On an Android device, open the invitation in your email.

  2. When prompted, sign in with Google and accept the invitation to test the app.

Once you accept an invitation, you're given access to install the test app. You also receive build notification emails from Firebase when the app's developer distributes a new build and includes you as a tester.

If you haven't already, download the Firebase App Tester app, which lets you install and access all your test apps in one place. You can download Firebase App Tester from the in-browser prompt that appears after you accept the invite.

If this is your first time installing Firebase App Tester, you'll need to sign into the app with the same Google account you used to accept the invitation.

 

 

In Firebase App Tester, select the app you want to install and tap Download. Apps you install through App Tester are automatically added to your device's home screen.

To download an Android App Bundle (AAB) release, complete the following one-time steps on your test device (these instructions are also displayed when you begin downloading the release):

  1. Open the Google Play Store app.

  2. Tap Menu > Settings

  3. In the About section, tap the Play Store version seven times.

  4. When the setting appears, tap the Internal app sharing switch to turn it on.

Visit the FAQ for instructions on how to delete your App Distribution tester account and its data.
