Test Environment

Telegram provides the special environment for development with some specific features. For example, a developer will be allowed to create a new Telegram bot and specify a Mini Apps link with HTTP protocol or even IP. As opposed to the test environment, in production, a developer is only allowed to specify links with HTTPS protocol. That's why this step is important during the Mini App development process.
