User flow for providing multiple versions (environments) of mobile app to end users

favorite












We are trying to provide multiple environments to our end users and want to create one single bundle for both IOS and Android. Currently we have a hidden feature (clicking on the version number to open an environment selection screen: Dev, QA, UAT or Prod). However, I am wondering if there are better or recommended ways of achieving this same effect somehow.



Thanks!

          I can help you with Android on managing Environments using Gradle file.



          Let's say you have a app with package name - com.company.sampleapp



          In gradle your applicationId will be com.company.sampleapp



          Now we can create different flavors for different environment and we can also have different applicationId as shown below.



          android {
          flavorDimensions "default"

          productFlavors {
          production {
          dimension "default"
          applicationId 'com.allegion.leopard'
          }
          //App will have package name appended with .qa
          qa {
          dimension "default"
          applicationId 'com.allegion.leopard.qa'
          }
          //App will have package name appended with .dev
          dev {
          dimension "default"
          applicationId 'com.allegion.leopard.dev'
          }
          }
          }


          Once this is done, you can choose build variants and create APK for that build. Added image for clarity
