PRODUCT CAPABILITIES

Built for Private Android Build Distribution

Designed specifically for developers and agencies who need to share internal APK builds with clients and QA testers quickly and reliably.

Private Android Build Sharing

Targeted access control for development and staging releases
Dedicated Workspaces

Every Android app receives its own private project container. Builds are only accessible to explicitly invited team members and authorized clients.

Fast APK Uploads

Upload compiled `.apk` packages up to 100MB directly through the web console. Automatic parsing extracts package name and version codes.

Quick Guest Sharing

Need to share an urgent build without logging in? Use the guest upload flow at /upload to generate an immediate download link.

Project & Tester Management

Frictionless tester onboarding without Google account prerequisites
Email Invitations

Add testers or client contacts with just their email. APKFlight sends an invitation link with automated access provisioning.

Multi-Project Assignment

Manage your tester pool centrally. Assign specific QA specialists or client stakeholders to individual projects or across client accounts.

Participant Detach & Revoke

Remove testers or completed client contracts in a single click, instantly revoking access to staging builds.

Release Notes & Build History

Eliminate version confusion with permanent changelogs
Release Notes per Build

Clearly communicate what bugs were fixed and what features to verify right alongside the download button.

Rollback Preservation

Past builds remain intact in your chronological build history so QA teams can compare previous versions or rollback if regressions appear.

Version Code Alignment

Track both semantic version numbers (`v2.1.0`) and internal Android version codes (`Build 42`) for precise debugging.

Client Installation Instructions & Companion App

Effortless mobile installation without Google Play store friction
Browser-Based Web Install

Testers can download APKs directly from their mobile browser without installing extra software. We provide step-by-step guidance on enabling Android's "Install Unknown Apps" permission.

Optional Android Companion App

For power testers, our standalone companion app is available via direct download at /download for 1-tap installation of newly published builds.
