The FTC app releases are also available on the [FTCRobotController Github repository](https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController/releases). It is possible to "side-load" the FTC apps onto the Robot Controller (RC) and Driver Station (DS) phones. However, this section of the Wiki does **not** include such instructions; other Wiki pages describe side-loading the [RC app]( https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController/wiki/Managing-a-Smartphone-Robot-Controller#updating-the-robot-controller-app) and the [DS app](https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController/wiki/Managing-a-Smartphone-Driver-Station#updating-the-driver-station-app).
#### Updating FTC Apps and Firmware on REV Devices (REV Expansion Hub, REV Control Hub, REV Driver Hub)
The [REV Hardware Client](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/rev-hardware-client) software is used to install, uninstall, and update apps and firmware on all REV devices. Simply connect the device via USB to your PC with the REV Hardware Client installed, launch the REV Hardware Client software, and the software will detect connected hardware. Once detected the REV Hardware Client can then [update the FTC Robot App (on a REV Control Hub)](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/updating-robot-controller-application), [update the FTC Driver App (on a REV Driver Hub)](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/updating-the-driver-hub), or [update firmware](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/updating-firmware) on the device.

Simply connect the device via USB to your PC with the REV Hardware Client installed and running, and the software will detect connected hardware. After detection, the REV Hardware Client can then [update the FTC Robot Controller (RC) app on a REV Control Hub](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/updating-robot-controller-application), [update the FTC Driver Station (DS) app on a REV Driver Hub](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/updating-the-driver-hub), or [update firmware](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/updating-firmware).
#### Updating FTC Apps on Android Phones
The [REV Hardware Client](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/rev-hardware-client) software is used to install, uninstall, and update apps on Android phones [similar to updating the REV Driver Hub Driver Station App](https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-control-system/managing-the-control-system/updating-the-driver-hub). However, the phones must have _**Developer Options**_ enabled in order for the phone to be properly recognized and updated by the REV Hardware Client software. The process for enabling Developer Options is as follows:
