Aircoding FAQ
Can I build an app without publishing it on the Play Store?
Short answer
Yes. An app can be tested or distributed privately through internal testing, direct installation, managed enterprise distribution, or a web app. The best option depends on who needs access and how much control the business requires.
Private distribution options
- Internal testing tracks for invited users
- Direct Android APK distribution for controlled pilots
- Managed enterprise device distribution
- Progressive web apps that open from a browser
- A private web dashboard for internal teams
What to consider
Private apps still need secure authentication, updates, backups, and access removal when staff leave. A web app may be the fastest choice when installation and device management would add unnecessary friction.
More questions
Can an app be used only by employees?
Yes. Access can be limited with accounts, invitations, roles, organization membership, and other authentication rules.
