On android 2.3.4 it crashes while opening.
Hello! Getting closer to a less-sucky release on both Android and
(especially) iOS! This RC should hopefully have all major issues
sorted out, and if nothing blocking is found will be pushed out to the
app stores. People doing beta testing finding issues is much more
awesome than users finding issues, so please test things out!
## What to test?
In addition to what was mentioned in the original beta
(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mobile-l/2012-May/005566.html),
1. Error handling for network issues. Searching or accessing pages
with no network should put up an explanatory message.
2. RTL languages should be handled much better. Try mixing a LTR phone
language and a RTL content language to see if it is handled properly.
3. Issues with dismissing Reference display have been fixed. Tapping
outside of the display should properly hide it.
4. Scrolling issues with iOS 4.x should be 'fixed' - should no longer
be super-jittery. Try super-long articles, and expand multiple
sections quickly.
5. Content formatting should be in tune with how it is in the Mobile
site. This essentially means fixes for how infoboxes were shown. Try
out different infoboxes, and compare them with the mobile site.
It would also be awesome to get people to test out saved pages across
different network conditions. They've traditionally been our most
brittle area, so testing on that would be much appreciated
## How to test?
For Android:
1. Download http://dumps.wikimedia.org/android/Wikipedia-v1.2-RC1-market.apk
into your Android device
2. Open it in your device to install it!
Note: This build shall go up on Google Play shortly.
For iOS:
If you have not already given us your device's UDID, you need to do
so. Follow the instructions at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/How_to_start_beta_testing_iOS_app
to get started!
If you have already given us your Device's UDID (yay!) it is much simpler:
1. Download http://dumps.wikimedia.org/iOS/Wikipedia-v3.2RC1-iOS.ipa to
your computer
2. Connect your iOS device to the computer
3. Open iTunes
4. Drag the IPA to the 'Apps' section of your device
5. Sync
