13. When asked, choose the correct Development Team.
14. Check the Binary and Entitlements and hit Upload.
15. Wait until the build is processed by Apple at itunesconnect.apple.com.
16. Release the build for internal testing, external testing or production.

Android

• Test your build by running it on an Android device:

  • Remove the app from the Android device if the app already exists.
  • Install the app using adb install -r part-up.apk (-r takes care of previously installed versions).
  • Start the app.
