Demo app on playstore #54

Open Prometheus3k opened 4 years ago

Prometheus3k commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

I'd like to recommend the demo app from this project is published to the Google Play Store. I say this because it's important to use the app to test on device and some users we have aren't comfortable sideloading APKs (they are not devs) but they do have devices and know how to install. Obviously respecting the original author's work so best the app comes from this repository.

Hey @Prometheus3k that's a good idea, I have been meaning to get around to actually implementing this. I could possibly have google analytics connected to it or have some sort of open system where only the package names are collected and no user information. This of course might be a bit concerning to the user so I do need to think of a way to make the user feel comfortable with the decision. Feel free to drop some ideas if you have any.

I don't think you need Google analytics here.

Just need to collect device hardware info (like my recent PR logging) and let the user run the test. If all checks fail, prompt the user to report the failure which sends device info to some backend. You can then build up a database of devices that failed for further investigation later.
