Testing Your App for HAQM Underground

Warning: As of May 31, 2017, HAQM is no longer accepting new Underground app submissions. For more information, see Underground Actually Free Program FAQ – 2017 Update

Introduction

HAQM provides services and tools available to test your app before you submit it to the HAQM Underground program:

AppTester Tool: Test your app's integration with HAQM's In-App Purchasing (IAP) APIs, if applicable.
Live App Testing: Beta test your app with a small group of pre-selected users.

AppTester Tool

The AppTester tool is a downloadable Android app that allows you to test your app's integration of HAQM's In-App Purchasing (IAP) APIs locally before you submit the app to the HAQM Appstore. The App Tester simulates a production environment that you can use to validate expected IAP use cases. Use the HAQM AppTester tool to locally test your app's integration with IAP:

If the non-Underground version of your app uses IAP and you have previously tested your IAP integration, you can use AppTester simply to validate your updated item SKUs.
If the non-Underground version of your app used Google's In-App Billing (IAB), and you migrated your app to IAP for HAQM Underground, you can use AppTester to test your IAP integration.

To learn more about App Tester, see Installing and Configuring AppTester.

Live App Testing

HAQM's LiveApp Testing service enables you to test your app in a live environment with beta users that you choose. For HAQM Underground, this service provides you with the opportunity to test the HAQM Underground version of your game in a live environment, and to receive feedback and bug reports on how your HAQM Underground app will function once it has been published live to the HAQM Appstore.

To learn more about this service, see Live App Testing.

Note: If you use LiveApp Testing for an HAQM Underground app, you cannot publish directly to the HAQM Appstore from the testing environment, as you can for a non-Underground app. Use the LiveApp Testing to beta test your app, then submit your app to the HAQM Appstore separately.
