创建并托管我们自己的私人android商店

Question

currently we have a few apps we've developed for our own organization's needs in house. Of course like everyone else we occasinally do updates for those apps. Usually this involves everyone downloading .apk files and updating with the new app.

Since these apps are relatively secure and could cause legal issues if released into the wild, management is somewhat loathe to put these apps on the Google Cloud in any form (even a private store).

Ergo I'm trying to research the idea of creating a private store containing apps that we host on a server in house, where people would connect and download apps.

Does any such store app/framework exist for this?

Answer 1

I would actually recommend using a Google Play Private Channel here. See the details here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/2623322?hl=en

This'll do exactly what you need - allow you to restrict the distribution of files to some kind of organization.

Answer 2

Found my answer, look for F-Droid out there. Pretty simple really.
