LIVE TESTING OF APPLICATIONS BASED UPON A DEBUG KEYSTORE

Technologies are disclosed herein for providing live testing of applications based upon a debug keystore. An application developer develops an application and registers with an application store. A public portion of a debug keystore may be used to generate a digital signature to sign the application in order to allow for live testing of the application at the application store with respect to various components of the application. In this way, live testing can occur without the need for publication and approval of the application by the application store. Additionally, use of the debug keystore may allow for live testing of the application to occur without the application developer incurring in-application purchase fees.
