Installing Internal Build for Android

During the process of our app development for Focus Bear, we will often provide test versions of the app for you to try out.

Before you can install our internal test builds, you will need to:

1. Enable Google Play Store developer options, and
   
2. Enable internal app sharing on your Android device.

4. Expand the About section.
   
   
   
5. Where it says Play Store Version, tap on Update Play Store. You’ll be notified whether you’re running the latest Google Play Store version or need to update.
   
   
   
6. In the same section, tap on Play Store Version seven times.
   

Enable Internal app sharing

1. Open the Google Play Store.
   
   
   
2. Tap on your profile icon.
