推荐答案

这是我的结论(总之，没有解决方案):

Here is my conclusion (in short, no solution):

1-(不幸的是，这一点不正确，除非您直接从商店下载，否则您不会获得更新.)唯一的问题是向测试人员提供第一个 APK，因为他们将无法从 Play 商店下载应用程序，但是，从 Play 商店下载更新是可行且没问题的(交付的 APK 必须使用与 Play 商店 APK 相同的密钥签名).

1- ( unfortunately this point is not correct, you wont get the updates unless you download directly from the store.) The only issue is delivering the first APK to the testers, as they wont be able to download the application from the Play Store, however, downloading updates from the Play Store is doable and okay, (delivered APK must be signed with same key as Play Store APK).

2- 如果应用程序从未公开发布，测试人员必须在 Play 商店中拥有指向该应用程序的某种直接链接，因为搜索它永远不会出现(即使包名称为:com.example.application).但是在拥有第一个 APK 后，您只需在 Play 商店中的我的应用"部分中查找即可.

2- If the application is never publicly released yet, testers must have some sort of a direct link to the application on the Play Store, as searching for it will never show up (even with package name: com.example.application). But after having the first APK, you can just look through the 'My Apps" section in the Play Store and find it.

3- 谷歌没有让这更容易，这很糟糕，特别是考虑到概念的琐碎和需要.

3- Google sucks for not making this easier, especially given the triviality of the concept and the need for it.

谢谢大家的建议.但考虑到它们都不是答案，因为没有答案，我不得不在这里总结我的发现.干杯.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. But considering none of them were the answer, because there is no answer, I had to sum up my findings here. Cheers.
