Playtest a Android game outside of Unity?

Hi Guys!

I'm working on my first phone game and am new to this.

I want  people to playtest it at there own home without Unity on there own phone. The only way to test I seem to find is using unity remote but that's not what i want. Are there other options like a beta android store/ green light/ test app's  solutions?


Thanks!

There is option on play store to release alpha or beta version that is available only for testers that you put on the list.

You can export an APK build from Unity that allows the game to be installed to an Android device without the need for Google Play Store during development, this is what we use for quick tests. You would be able to share this with people by uploading it somewhere and providing a link, but people would have to be willing to set their device to 'Allow Unsigned Apps' in order for it to run. Unity's own instructions for building are here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-BuildProcess.html 

Hope this helps, and good luck with your game!
