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

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
