+# Preview APK workflow
+
+Use this path for fast UI testing before a formal tag/release.
+
+The preview build is a debug APK with package id `com.neatstudio.tmuxandroid.debug`.
+It can be installed next to the formal release app, so preview version codes do not
+block future formal releases.
+
+## Build locally
+
+```bash
+scripts/setup-android-local.sh
+scripts/build-preview-apk.sh
+```
+
+Output:
+
+- `release/preview/tmux-android-preview.apk`
+- `release/preview/latest.json`
+
+## Upload to Gitea preview release
+
+```bash
+scripts/upload-gitea-preview.sh
+```
+
+The script reads `TMUX_GITEA_TOKEN` or prompts for a hidden token.
+Before uploading, it deletes existing assets with the same names, so the preview
+release keeps only one current APK and one current manifest.
+
+Fixed preview URLs:
+
+- Manifest: `https://gitea.neatcn.com/tmux/tmux-browser-android/releases/download/preview/latest.json`
+- APK: `https://gitea.neatcn.com/tmux/tmux-browser-android/releases/download/preview/tmux-android-preview.apk`
+
+## Notes
+
+- Preview APKs are not formal releases and should not be tagged as `v*`.
+- Preview uses debug signing unless a separate debug signing setup is added.
+- The installed preview app is separate from the release app because Gradle applies
+  `applicationIdSuffix = ".debug"` for debug builds.
