Hello everyone!

The Wikimedia Commons app on Android has been on play store([1]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikimedia.commons) for a week now,. I just pushed out an update - the app will be updated every week. The app on the play store uploads directly to Commons and should be considered the 'release' channel.

There is now also a 'beta' channel, available by installing the apk from

http://bit.ly/commons-beta

(expanded URL https://integration.mediawiki.org/nightly/mobile/android-commons/android-commons_latest.apk)

This is very close to a nightly - will be updated every day or so. It also has a menu item 'Update App' which will blindly get you the latest version. This will *always* upload to testwiki, so you can feel free to upload whatever.

This is to make sure that people who want to test the app (and hence testwiki) also have a way of actually uploading pictures to Commons! The iOS app has a 'toggle' in the app itself to fix this, but due to how the app is architected this is not possible in Android. Hence two apps.

Test on!
