I was wondering if it is possible to build IOS and Android apps that are not public.

Thoughts?

None of our apps are public until you publish them.

Google APKs can be kept and installed privately.

Apple apps can be installed via private beta or via an enterprise certificate. We support all those distribution channels.

Thanks.

How can I install a Google APK (Codenameone creates "A3Tech-release.apk" that I download to my device)

Can I start a browser session with "A3Tech-release.apk" as an argument?

Thoughts?

Yes, the user would need to download then select the file to install. He would need to enable the "Install from outside sources" flag in the device to do that.

Thanks.

Is it possible to this on IOS ?

You would need an enterprise certificate to do that properly and would need the device to belong to that enterprise. Notice that the app can't be shipped via the normal appstore. There are quite a few challenges there.
