Can we use nightly and stable release at the same time? (lemmy.world)

Question above. Right now if I try to install nightly and I have stable installed I get prompted to update. Are we going to be able to have both installed simultaneously?

For Flutter, since I'm working on both support on iOS and Android, I would also have to consider how this would work for people installing the nightlies through AltStore or other derivatives as well (however small that may be).

If I had more capacity to do so, or if someone more knowledgeable about this topic could help me, I'd definitely be willing to try what you mentioned! However, I'm not too familiar with these processes as I'm still learning on the go (Thunder itself is a huge learning process for me since it started very much a side project and sorta just blew up)

A quick look through the app-identifier, there are a few places where these show up:

I am way out of my league with android dev, though your app looks nice enough for me to consider picking it up and helping out with a couple easy ones.

I just can say that from a tester point of view, having multiple pre release versions next to the release one ready to go is immensely helpful.
