Distribution of Android APK through private servers
In the case of Android APK, distribution is possible through private servers or email. (If it is a route where it is possible to download/install the relevant APK onto the terminal, distribution is possible.) Android terminals stop installations if it is not a formal one through a market. Therefore, when you want to distribute using a private server, check the checkbox in “settings>application program>unknown source”. The setting on Android terminal is complete by doing so.
