I’m developing an Android App only for my clients and I want to publish on Google Play. Is there a way to hide the application from searches and make it only accessible by URL? To use the app, people need a license, and I don’t want someone searching for “XYZ” to see my app.
Hosting the APK on my servers is not a solution, since I update it very often and prefer the Play Store update system.
Google Play now allows you a new way to distribute internal applications(Google Play Private Channel):
Here you can find the announce on Google Enterprise Blog and here the instructions to set up this feature.
