Distributing mobile apps
When your native mobile apps are ready for distribution, obtain the app installation packages and decide on the most suitable options to effectively share those apps with your Android and iOS users.
Downloading installation packages
After you build a mobile app, download the app installation package to your device. You can also share the app with other users by providing them with a direct download link or QR code.

to download or distribute the package.
