Are you successfully able to create test servers for previous versions of this app? or any other apps?

Does the app have the INTERNET permission enabled in the manfiest file?

[Himanshi Trivedi]

yes, the previously versions of this app is succesfully installed 7 able to create testservers . 

How do we enabled internet permission in the manifest file?
