Hi there, I am at the point where I question releasing my application out in the wild, but before that I would like to go through a beta phase with beta testers recruited thru some forum (not my friends from childhood I mean).
I am stunned that it seems Google did not plan for this at all... I am keen to have beta testers, but not so much that an unlimited/ unrestricted app leaks all over the place. This question has been asked already and I was wondering is there were any new news on the topic... Basically, if I issue them an application with a limited lifespan siging key, I won't be able to use this key on the market (because of the 2033 thingy). If I use adifferent key on the market, my beta testers will have to uninstall the application before being able to install the final version and they will lose their data. If I issue a debug signed application, it can go everywhere unless I do something (possibly complicated) in my app to restrict it to the "beta crowd"... I am not even thinking about giving the final app for free because it seems it is another can of worms. Any idea welcome, thanks in advance.
