Research Pushing the android app live. #38

Open gagichce opened 9 years ago

Will use a lot of data.. but that is ok. We need to research how to push the apps without wrecking the auto start and stay and tasker applications. if we cannot get around this, we will have to make our own applications which can survive an "update".

This will also require a Google Play License I believe. I want to look into how fast the updates get pushed once they are uploaded.

So this looks very possible through the android store. (I am currently testing it on my own device atm) We could set it up as a "beta" application for testing. We would then create a private google group and add them as testers. The new version will be pushed automagically to the device. The only concern then is to make sure it doesn't break any of our auto start and stay hacks..

ALSO because it is beta we would actually be able to get the crash data and other information back from the device.. this is looking really possible.

Confirmed. Just received a pushed update from the store as a beta user. I will set this up asap so we can further our testing.
