Testing developer sites on mobile

We are developing a service that responds to links in student messages (conversations) and would like to see how this performs using the Canvas mobile app The mobile app API from 2013 states that the 'conversations' endpoint is supported - so we need to see how the native app responds to our links. We can't seem to find any way to point the mobile app to the URL for our staging server. Is it even possible to point the mobile app to our company's server?

Adding the certificate did not help - 'An unexpected error occurred. the server you entered is not authorized for this app'.

But I did find a github posting from 2013 that confirmed my earlier suspicion:

"The mobile apps only work with the Instructure hosted instances of Canvas" :

Android Mobile App is not Connecting · Issue #334 · instructure/canvas-lms · GitHub 

Didn't see anything explaining that on the google play store that mentioned that. Oh well.
