# Second APK Submission

• Security Testing
• System Testing - Apps, Services and Interoperability

# Testing Credentials

Testing credentials are understood as a complete access to the application to facilitate testing and evaluation of the app's functionalities. Whenever you upload a new APK to the developer center, it's essential to provide testing credentials, which may include login credentials.

In cases where applications do not require a login authentication, we also recommend providing a detailed explanation of the general experience and flow of the application. This information will help the GoDaddy Poynt team to ensure an efficient and comprehensive review of your application.

If you wish to submit testing credentials for an application, you can do so by following the steps below.

1. Access your developer account (opens new window).

2. Select the application for which you wish to add test credentials.

3. Scroll down in the app details and click on the button Upload Test Credentials.

4. Upload the desired file and save your changes.

# Important Considerations

Below are some important considerations when uploading your APK

• You must always make sure that you are uploading a signed release version of your APK. If you are uploading a dev variant to test billing integration, it can be signed using the Android Studio debug key.

• Apps with package names starting with co.poynt or com.poynt will be rejected.

• If you lose your key, you will not be able to push updates to the merchants who use your application and you will need to create a new app with a different package name.
