Distributing your Android apps locally 📱

Are you looking to distribute your apps locally?


There could be various reasons for this, including selling alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, or vape products, using an outdated API version (28, 29, 20, 31), or facing account removals due to Google's policies.
Some users may have concerns about sharing personal data or permissions when downloading apps from app stores. QR code distribution allows users to download apps directly from your source, potentially easing privacy concerns.

This guide will assist you in the process.
