Hi Jimmy do you know of any easy way to give a beta version of an app to testers on iOS and android without going through the stores?

[@yim]

I haven't tried this myself, but you can do it on android pretty easily developer.android.com/distribute/marketing-tools/alternative-distribution.html. On iOS, it seems a bit harder but look into ad-hoc distribution.

[@techkyguy]

I'm receiving the following message:
Could not find option 'app_project_dir' in the list of available options: app_folder_name, gradle_file_path, version_code, ext_constant_name
I'm running on windows.
Could you help me?

[@yim]

Something might have changed since this video came out or it could be a windows vs mac thing. I would try using app_folder_name instead and see if that works.

This is what worked for me recently
increment_version_code(
gradle_file_path: "app/build.gradle",
)

@@amaljose8742 please which plugin did you install

[@leonidpokrityuk8596]

@@abdullateefadeniran-yusuf2214 It's a `increment_version_code`. To add the plugin run `fastlane add_plugin increment_version_code` . Hope that helps
