I need to send some info to Google Play Protect as, while my app works fine on Google Play Store, it comes up with an error for those downloading it from the Samsung App Store.
One of the questions is the URL to download my APK. I've only ever uploaded signed APK's I have generated to the app stores. I have never used a URL so how would I get that for my app so I can fill in this question for the Google Play Protect team.
Screenshot:
finally, a link I tried worked and here is how to make it for FREE.
- Make a DropBox Account
- upload the apk to your DropBox Account
- get the share link
- Edit the link from “https://www.dropbox.com/s/example/app.apk?dl=0”
to “https://www.dropbox.com/s/example/app.apk?dl=1” by changing the
0 at the end to 1
- you have successfully created an acceptable link.
update
after number 4 :
- drop the edited link in bit.ly to shorten it to like bit.ly/example
and use this for url
Just enter your Google Play store page (ending in your package name)
They can figure out everything they need from there
Example
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.example.package
