Gimbal Sample Apps – Testing Guide

Our sample applications allow Gimbal customers to test the most up-to-date SDK and beacon functionality before integrating the Location SDK into their own apps. We provide an updated sample app coupled with every SDK release. This is especially helpful for developers because they can dive into the SDK to learn, analyze, and compare against working source code.

These applications are available for both iOS and Android. Below are the instructions on how to access them and get them up and running on your test devices.
