Hi,

I would like to know how to package up build files for download as a third party application. Which files/folders do I need to included from the build folder? Is there any source code exposed in the process?

I need to do this to share copies of applications in development privately.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. You only need the .apk file for android of course.

That's what I needed to know. I've never worked with an .apk file before or Android before. Oh my. ;)

So "MonkeyGame-debug.apk" is alI need?

Yes.
You must enable Unknown sources in your Android device Settings, before installing apk, else Android platform will not allow you to install apk directly.

Awesome, thanks. I posted it and my team reports it working awesomely. If anyone is wondering what mime type to use (for downloading) this one seems to work fine, application/vnd.android.package-archive .

There is no 'release' version of the .apk file?

Release and debug version have both "debug" in their name.
