This task is focused on exploring the feasibility of creating an end-to-end flow that can test the process of upgrading between app versions. The aim of this work is to reduce the need for manual testing of app upgrades between releases. Additionally, this flow would help identify any bugs related to app upgrades at the pull request level, before merging into the main branch.
