Hi, this might look like a dumb question, but I need to share with a friend in another city an app that I wrote. I loaded this app in my phone using B4A-Bridge. My friend doesn't have B4A installed in his computer. Is there an easy way for me to send this app to him? I have never put any apps in the Play Store and I want to share this app only for testing not to make it public.

Thanks,

Robert

Zeuspower, thank you for your response. Can you please provide more details? Is the APK file enough to install an app in your phone? So, is the APK file the equivalent of an EXE file in the Android world?

Yes ! I did it for testing...you can attach the apk file,to an email,ehen your friend receive it and read it,to his phone,will open the attached file,will recognised and install it(it will ask for various permissions and unknown sources install first).
you can also upload it your cloud (google drive or another) and send only the shared link with emai to his phone)

The apk file is all you need. The B4a bridge does the same. If you upload an app to Google's Playstore you upload the apk file, too. That's it. What I do: Copy it to Google drive and share the link. You frined needs to activate "install from unknown sources" otherwise it will not be installed.
