Android

• Two Android devices (V2.2 and above)
• Two phone numbers for your two users (Alice and Bob) where you can receive SMS
• NB If one of your two Android devices is a tablet, you will still need a second phone number to "pair" with the tablet
• Create a Bob contact with his phone number in Alice's addressbook and vice versa
• Create your Jibe app and get a Jibe App-ID and App-Secret from the Applications page
• Update your AndroidManifest.xml with the Android package name you entered when creating your app and also update the App-Id there
• Update the App-Id and App-Secret inside your application code
• Whitelist your two phone numbers for development on the Device page
