[英]Publish private Android app for external users using Google Play Store

I have to publish an Android App (built using React Native) for my client.我必须为我的客户发布一个 Android 应用程序（使用 React Native 构建）。 There is a requirement for the app to not be available for the general public so it can't be published as a public app.该应用程序要求不能对公众开放，因此不能作为公共应用程序发布。 Users who sign up and get approved will be using the app.注册并获得批准的用户将使用该应用程序。 Majority of the users will not belong to my client's organization so Google Workspace private apps are not going to work in this scenario, since it is only for private apps for an organization's employees only.大多数用户不属于我客户的组织，因此 Google Workspace 私有应用程序无法在这种情况下运行，因为它仅适用于组织员工的私有应用程序。

There is the option of sending an APK but it requires users to allow installation of apps from unknown sources and that many users who might not be tech-savvy will probably find this difficult to do.可以选择发送 APK，但它要求用户允许安装来自未知来源的应用程序，许多可能不精通技术的用户可能会发现这很难做到。 The client wants it to be a smooth process, similar to any other app you install from the PlayStore.客户希望它是一个顺畅的过程，类似于您从 PlayStore 安装的任何其他应用程序。

Is there any solution where I can publish the app privately and send a link to the app to intended users?是否有任何解决方案可以让我私下发布应用程序并将应用程序链接发送给目标用户？ Ideally they should just open the link on their Android device and Google Playstore should open with my app selected and they can just press Install.理想情况下，他们应该只在他们的 Android 设备上打开链接，Google Playstore 应该打开我的应用程序，然后他们只需按安装即可。

Thank you.谢谢你。

Turns out private publishing for external users is not yet available on either Google Play Store or Apple App Store.事实证明，Google Play Store 或 Apple App Store 尚不提供面向外部用户的私人发布。 Private apps are only for employees, partners or contractors etc of an organization.私有应用程序仅适用于组织的员工、合作伙伴或承包商等。

Had to make the app public on both platforms.必须在两个平台上公开该应用程序。
