Re: [android-developers] Distribute app to customer for review but no one else

2010-09-22 Thread Brad Gies


Just put the app on a server, and also put up a file with one number in 
it, the latest version of your app. Occassionally, download the file and 
if the version number doesn't match the app version number, then popup a 
dialog box, and tell the user there is an update. When they click ok, 
download the app.



Sincerely,

Brad Gies

accomplish root a phone or use a command line interface.

When I develop iPhone applications for them this was easy. They just
give me the device UDID and I send them a binary that can be drag and
dropped into iTunes.

How is this done on Android. I have tried loading the application from
a web server but the devices says it is not allowed to be loaded
because of security reasons. In setting->Applications there is no menu
option to "Allow Unknown sources".

Thank  your for any help you can provide on this matter.
