PlayAppStore is a web service for quickly publising and downloading your own company's iOS apps and Android apps OTA. This project is heavily inspired by the ipapk-server repo. It provides you a chance to make it easy for Beta Testing.

Why called PlayAppStore

We blieved that the best way to install an app for beta testing is via a package management app like the iPhone's App Store app or the Android's Play Store app, so we dicided to develop these two native apps for different platform to do the same things, and named this project PlayAppStore :-D

Here is a preview for iOS side:

Features

• [x] Auto generate sefl-signing HTTPS server for iOS OTA itms-services.
• [x] Support both web client-side and mobile client-side.
• [x] Full information such as changelog.
• [ ] Push notification for new build.

Requirements

• nodejs

Install

$ npm install -g playappstore

Usage

$ playappstore [option]

Options:

-h, --help                 output usage information
-V, --version              output the version number
-p, --port <port-number>   set port for server (defaults is 9090)
-h, --host <host>          set host for server (defaults is your LAN ip)
-h, --config <config-file> set the config json file path

Quick Start

The quickest way to get started with playappstore is to utilize the default parameters (such as port and host) to generate a server as shown below:

$ playappstore

In this situation, we will auto generate self-signed certificate for you. Otherwise, if you already have a certificate, it is recommend to config the certificate with a json file:

$ playappstore -c "path/to/config.json"

You can see the details of the config file from this wiki.

To publish an app is very simple, here is an example to request with curl:

$ curl 'https://host:port/apps' -F "package=@path" -F "changelog=some feature" --header "MasterKey: playappstore" --insecure

Note that you should change the host and port variables with your owns, and the path variable must be the file path where the ipa or apk is.

For iOS Side

For some code sign reasons, we could not provide you the downloadable ipa package, and we also could not publish this project to the App Store cause the use of private api.

Follow this guideline to do the build manually.

For Android Side

Just under development, will release as fast as we can.

For Web Side

Just visit this url https://host:port/ in your mobile browser.
