Dialog Box - https://www.material.io/design/components/dialogs.html > > https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/30540/1.png > > hellais suggested to do it in two steps by first asking users if they are developers and if they reply NO, then recommend them to download the stable app. I approached this version to solve this with one step. In this way, when users click [download stable], we open the Tor Browser stable download page. > > 2. First Screen > > https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/30540/2.png > > If we consider that we should block the entire screen for this action, we could use a full-screen option. It should show before the onboarding on new users and one/two times on recurrent users. Thanks. I like option 1, I think. I am not sure about he full-screen option. Is that a thing an Android user would expect? > > We should update the description at Google Play too, so we don't have new users downloading the Alpha version by error. It is most urgent, imo. I'm adding steph because we need wording for this. Agreed. > Also, Google Play calls developer versions as `Beta`. Should we attach to gplay standards and replace `Alpha` for `Beta` in mobiles? I am not sure yet, but we could think about it. Nevertheless, this would be a new ticket and we should not try to solve that here, too. > We need a funnel for this and define which releases will contain this prompt. Also, what is the % of users we expect to move? Will we remove the prompt once we achieve it? I don't know what % we would expect. I think we should ship it for quite some time and we should design the feature in a way that the user gets prompted after the first update to a version with the feature under discussion here. Subsequent updates should not trigger it. I think users that download the alpha now-ish should not get it either given that we have the stable around for a while now. > If we succeed on the moving, users will still have two versions of TBA installed in their devices. Can we do something to prevent users to successfully download the stable app but still use the alpha one as default? Good question. Maybe, I guess? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30540#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
