Private Android App Distribution Platform
A secure internal APK distribution solution built for enterprise teams after Microsoft App Center distribution was discontinued.
Replacing Microsoft App Center with a Private APK Deployment Platform
We developed a secure web-based Android distribution platform that allows companies to manage APK versions, assign releases to specific teams, and deliver automatic updates through a native Android updater package.
Project Details
The Context
After Microsoft App Center distribution was discontinued, companies that depended on it for internal Android app delivery needed a reliable alternative. The goal was to create a private, secure and scalable solution for distributing APK files to employees, testers and internal teams without relying on public app stores.
Project Goals
What We Built
APK Distribution Dashboard
A centralized web platform to upload, organize and publish Android APK versions.
Team-Based Access Control
Apps and releases can be assigned to specific teams, departments or testing groups.
Version Management
Each APK release can be tracked with version code, version name, changelog and release status.
Native Android Updater
A native Android package detects new versions and guides users through the update process.
Private Deployment Flow
Organizations can distribute internal apps privately without publishing them to Google Play Store.
Controlled Rollout
New releases can be made available only to selected groups before wider distribution.
Technology Stack
Results
Conclusion
The platform successfully replaced legacy APK distribution workflows with a secure, private and scalable deployment ecosystem designed for enterprise Android teams.
By combining a web-based release management dashboard with a native Android auto-update package, the solution simplified internal testing, version control and app rollout for distributed teams.
