# What can I test while Samsung approval is pending?

While awaiting Samsung partnership approval, you can develop and test against **Health Connect** as a drop-in. It supports the same data types as Samsung Health.

For local testing only, enable **Samsung Health Dev Mode** by tapping the version number repeatedly in Samsung Health settings. No Samsung Client ID or access code is needed for this step. The Client ID is part of Samsung's separate commercial partner programme, managed entirely on Samsung's side.

After approval, switch to the **Samsung-custom branch** of the SDK (e.g. `terra-react` tagged `samsung-custom`), which connects to Samsung's Health Data SDK rather than Health Connect. This is a separate SDK branch, not a version downgrade, so a lower version number than the standard line is expected.
