How to test app before building

Hey guys, I’ve been trying to see if my ads are working, but I have to build my app, put it on my phone, install it through an apk installer just to find out the ad doesn’t work. Is there a way to test before a build.

In order to test ads, you must build for device. However, your method seems a bit long.

You could just use live builds. Or you could build to dropbox account, for instance, and just the apk directly from there to your device whenever you make a new build.
