Beta testing Android Apps

Post by andyh1234 » Mon Dec 05, 2011 9:28 pm

Another Android question tonight!

Anyone got a good way to beta test an Android app before I put it out into the wild?

Im happy for the app to go out for free, so not worried if the beta got here there and everywhere, but just wondering if there is an easy way to package the app, put it on a website etc and then let people with Android phones who want to try it and report back do so.

With iOS im using Testflight which isnt too bad, is there something similar for Android?

Android is very flexible about how you can distribute apps. Just put the apk on your web site along with an HTML file that contains a link to the file. All users need to do is click the link and Android will ask if they want to install the app. Or you can include the link in an email if you want to send specific people the app.
