My app is now in the alpha status and I would like to distribute it to a few people (QA, alpha testers...) without making the app public. I know, that google play offers a private channel to distribute apps in alpha/beta state to some people, but according to the website it takes a few hours until the application is available. However, I would like to have it available for users as soon as a new build is ready and uploaded. I thought about setting up a private android repository (e.q f-droid), but unfourtunately I couldn't find anything in the documenation about securing the android repository - I want it to be protected somehow (key, password...).
Another possibility would be to set up a webserver and host the different build versions on that server. Then the testers have to navigate to that site and download the appropriate build version. However, from the usabilitiy point of view it isn't that nice - user have to download the version manually and install it afterwards. Also for the QA guys it would be nicer, if it is easier to switch between different android builds.
How would you solve this problem? Is there already any software out there, that is suitable for that task?
Any help is really appreciated.
