I agree that we cannot afford to just close aurora and start nightly We have been discussing about two options:
* reuse the org.mozilla.fennec_aurora to publish nightly instead. I know this will add legacy and technological debt but this is fast and "easy" to implement (generating apk with this id). * reaching out to Google to know if they can use their super powers to allow us to reuse the application to publish nightly with the current id (which is, btw, already used by another uncontrolled account) S Le 31/03/2017 à 13:22, Kevin Brosnan a écrit : > How are we handling Android?
