Test the application

hello I would like to have my friends test my work, how should I proceed?

Is your app live or only in development? And are you using Bubble’s free plan or one of the paid ones?

I am using the paid plan and the app is under development

I haven’t tried to do this yet–I’m going to publish mine before seeking testers–but my understanding is, you have to go into your app’s settings, general tab, and change “Define who can see and modify the app editor” to something other than “Private app”. (Make sure you change it back after testing to avoid hackers editing or deleting your app.) You can optionally add a username and password which you will share with your friends (and uncheck “Do not apply password for Live”). Then go to the page you want your testers to start at (such as Index) and click the Preview button at the top right corner and copy that page’s URL into an email you send to your friends. If I’m wrong, hopefully an experienced dev can correct me.

You don’t need to change the app settings. You can just preview and send your friends to the link to view the app.

You can leave it as “Private app”. You only need to change that if you want to send someone your editor link to make changes to your app. If it’s just for testing with the url, you can send them the preview link.
