Use Test Key

• Use the Branch test key instead of the live key
• Add your test key to the AndroidManifest.xml, as described here.
• Then, to use your test key, add the following before loading Branch (i.e. before calling Branch.getAutoInstance()). Note that if you do not have an Application class and are using BranchApp this method will not work but you can still use the test key by setting testMode=true in the manifest.

Branch.enableTestMode()

• Remove before releasing to production

Test Your Branch Integration

Test your Branch Integration by calling IntegrationValidator.validate in your MainActivity's onStart(). Check your ADB Logcat to make sure all the SDK Integration tests pass. Make sure to comment out or remove IntegrationValidator.validate in your production build.

IntegrationValidator.validate(this)

IntegrationValidator.validate(MainActivity.this);

Sample Testing Apps

• Branchsters
• Testbed

Simulate an Install

To ensure the SDK is setup correctly, you no longer need to simulate an install via the SDK itself. Instead, you can test functionality end to end by completing the following:

• Add a Test Device to Your Branch Account
• Test Your Campaign Setup

App Indexing Validator

Use our validator to determine if your app and site are properly configured for App Indexing.
