# Android Device Setup

> Configure your Android device for notification capture and app sideloading.

## Enable USB debugging

1. Go to **Settings → About phone**
2. Tap **Build number** 7 times to unlock Developer Options
3. Go to **Settings → System → Developer Options**
4. Enable **USB debugging**

***

## Grant notification access

Vantage requires notification access to capture banking transactions.

1. Go to **Settings → Apps → Special app access → Notification access** (or search "Notification access" in settings)
2. Find **Vantage Wealth** and enable it

<Warning>
  Without notification access, automatic transaction capture will not work. You can still use Vantage manually, but notifications won't be processed.
</Warning>

***

## Install the APK

```bash theme={null}
adb devices   # verify your device is connected
adb install -r build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk
```

If `adb` is not found, add the Android SDK platform-tools to your PATH:

```bash theme={null}
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools"   # macOS
```
