How do I add a test device to send test notifications?

Adding a test device to your Pushwoosh account requires some initial technical setup in your application's code. This usually requires assistance from your development team.

There are two primary methods for adding test devices:

Option 1: Automatic Setup via QR Code

This is the most convenient method for long-term use. It allows non-technical team members to add their devices easily in the future.

1. Developer Task: A developer must first implement a special Deep Link within your mobile application. This is a one-time setup.
2. Adding a Device: Once implemented, you can go to the Test Devices section in your Pushwoosh Control Panel, scan the QR code with your device's camera, and your device will be registered automatically.

For detailed technical instructions, please refer to our developer documentation: Adding Test Devices Automatically.

Note: The QR code will not work until the deep link functionality has been added to your app.

Option 2: Manual Setup via Hardware ID (HWID)

If you need to add a device without implementing the automatic QR code feature, you can do so by manually adding its Hardware ID (HWID).

1. Developer Task: A developer needs to retrieve the HWID from the specific device you want to add.
2. Adding a Device: Once you have the HWID, you can manually add it to the list in the Test Devices section of your Pushwoosh Control Panel.

This process must be repeated for every new device you wish to add. For instructions on how to find a device's HWID, please see our documentation: Collecting Logs, HWID, and Push Token.
