Sharing your App links doesn’t mean other people can test your apps. They need special permission.

Even before getting 20 testers, it is important to know how you can share your app with them, so that they can download and test your app. Its simple we just need to share android link right ?

No. Even if testers have your link, they need permission to access your app. Basically google provides you with two ways for giving permission to testers.

1. Using Email Lists
2. Using Google Groups

1. Using Email Lists

Here you will ask testers for their email id’s and add their email id’s into your emailing list. Everytime a tester wants to test your app, you need to manually add ther email id’s to the release. Its very time consuming and personally I don’t recommend it at all.

2. Using Google Groups

Here you will add a google group into your testing release and everyone who is a member of that google group can download your app from the link. Seems convinient right ? Yeah and this is what I recommend. You can add your own google group or you can add testers community’s google group.

The process to add a google group is a bit lengthy, you can see the below video to make things simple
