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

It would be useful to have this information at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Commons
And in general, it would be good to have in a single Commons app page the nice documentation we came up with in the past two weeks at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_QA/Commons_uploads http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_QA/Commons_uploads/Setup
This is a good task for a new / not-so-experienced contributor. Any takers?

It would also help with https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41922
