Updating app in Live App Testing

Amazon Appstore Q&A
,
1

I am trying to use Live App Testing for the first time for internal testing on several Fire TV devices. I started a new test uploaded an APK and downloaded it on the devices.

I now need to provide an update to the devices to fix some issues, I clicked “New Test”, selected my current Live App to copy the information from and clicked replace on the current APK then uploaded the new APK.

How do I update the device now, the app is not on the apps list on the home screen and I have to get to it by going into the Manage Installed Apps in settings to launch it.

I am not sure what the correct process is.

Hello @tyczj ,

Thanks for posting. We’ve identified the issue and are currently working on a fix. In the meantime, you can directly access the LAT ADP using the following ADB command:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "amzn://apps/android?asin=<lat_asin>"

NOTE: Replace <lat_asin> with the ASIN visible in the Dex portal (also known as the BETA ASIN).

To check the version and details of the installed app, navigate to:
Settings → Applications → Installed applications

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
