对于通过 Android Market 向有限数量的用户发布应用程序的 Beta 版本,是否有推荐的策略?
我想将我的应用程序的测试版分发给一小群用户。理想情况下,这将通过市场来完成,以使 Beta 测试人员更容易。
有没有办法限制应用程序在市场上的存在?我能想到的唯一解决方案是:
1 - 让用户从网络下载 .adk 并手动安装
2 - 将测试版作为单独的应用程序在市场上发布
第一个选项并不理想,因为您必须引导用户允许来自未知来源的应用程序。更不用说从用户的角度来看,您正在从不受信任的来源下载应用程序。
第二种选择并不理想,因为您可能会因为市场上有多个版本而让其他用户感到困惑,其中一个版本可能很不稳定。然后不可避免地会出现一些关于某些东西在市场上行不通的评论。我想你可以在那个版本中添加某种密码,然后只分发给你的 beta 测试人员。
还有更好的解决方案吗?
I would like to distribute a beta version of my application to a small group of users. Ideally this would be done through the market to make it easier for the beta testers.
Is there a way to restrict an app's presence in the market? The only solutions I could come up with were:
1 - Have users download the .adk from the web and install manually
2 - Release the beta version as a separate app in the market
The first option isn't ideal as you have to potentially walk the user through allowing apps from unknown sources. Not to mention from a user perspective, you're then downloading an app from an untrusted source.
The second option isn't ideal as you then are potentially confusing other users by having multiple versions in the market, one of which might be flaky. And then there's the inevitable comments about how something doesn't work in the market. I guess you could add some sort of password to that version that you only distribute to your beta testers.
Are there any better solutions?

市场仅适用于公共应用程序,因此没有任何好的方法可以做到这一点。当我们进行 Beta 测试时,我们的应用程序是通过电子邮件作为 apk 分发的。使用 Android 论坛来获取 Beta 测试人员。
但是,如果你坚持使用安卓市场。我建议重新命名您的应用程序和包名称,并将其放入演示类别。但同样,我不会使用 Android 市场进行 Beta 测试。
Market is for public apps only so there is not any good ways to do this. Our app was distributed by email as apk when we where doing beta-testing. Use android forums to get beta-testers.
But, if you insist on using android market. I suggest re-name your app and package-names, and put it into the demo category. But again, I would not used android market for beta-testing.
或许可以定一个相对较高的价格,然后退还测试版用户的钱。
Perhaps put a relatively high price on it and refund the beta users' money.
