I exported an unsigned apk file that represents a test version of my Android application. I need to distribute this to quite a few users. Is there a simple method to distribute the apk file where it will install the app? I’m trying to avoid the test users from having to download something like Astro or the sdk. Any ideas? I tried putting it out on a global web server and the file downloads but doesn’t install. Thanks for the help!
From the android documentation:
So even if your users have the “Allow installing non-market apps” checked, your application will still have to be signed with at least a test key before it can be installed on a physical device.
