Hey there, let me look into this -- not sure off the top of my head!
void roost
thank you

It looks like you can have external tests of new versions of your app at the same time as public releases, but an account can only have one of those installed

Suggestion: stripe should have an official developer program that requires a registration fee. having a membership gives you access to a semi-private discourse channel so you don't need to jump through these hoops to ask a question 😄

If users want to "upgrade" from your test version to the released version, they need to uninstall the test version
void roost
by "test version" do you mean the app installed in test mode? or the app installed in either test/live mode?

Anyone is welcome to join this Discord, the prompts are a recent change in our process to guide folks to provide information to help us help you up front 🙂
the external test version for your test users
void roost
Okay, so:
- my app has
distribution: publicbut is not released in the marketplace (yet) - my users are installing my app in live mode using the install link
- when I go to publish my app to the marketplace, all these users need to uninstall my app and then reinstall from the marketplace? even if it's the exact same version (i.e.
1.0.0) ?

If you want them to use the released version rather than the test version, yes thats my understanding.
void roost
Ok, but you're not 100% certain? The reason I'm concerned is we're actively onboarding customers using the install link, and I don't want to require these ~25 companies to have to go through the process of uninstalling & reinstalling :/

If users no longer want to evaluate a test app, they must select it from Settings > Installed Apps and uninstall it. If the published version of the app was previously installed on the account, users can reinstall the app from the App Marketplace.

My expectation is that they'd be able to continue using the test version, but it will remain marked as such. They won't automatically get moved to the release version, if that's what you expect.
Like what you see here:

Ok. That seems a bit counter-intuitive because when i upload a new version of the app (even in external test mode), all those external testers are automatically upgraded to the latest version
