The so-called application internal test hosting means that after the developer basically completes the development of an APP, a platform is needed to send the installation package to different models of mobile phones for testers to test, and then the testers will feedback problems and bugs to the developer, and the developer will then Modify the problem, and then distribute it through the internal test hosting platform for testing, and repeat until the APP basically has no problems, and then upload the installation package to various application stores and App Stores for the public to choose and download freely.
At present, the mobile phones used by users all over the world are mainly two operating systems - Android and iOS, and the best hosting platform in China is Dandelion internal test hosting.
Android can directly distribute the application installation package that needs to be tested to users for download, and it can be directly distributed through Dandelion or other hosting platforms.
The closed nature of the iOS system prevents users from directly installing apps outside the App Store. The official internal beta distribution channel testflight needs to apply to fill out a form. Remember not to fill in the email address. Then just wait quietly for the developer invitation email. The official usually invites in batches, so it takes a certain amount of time to wait, 1-7 days is normal. After receiving the invitation email, you can download and test according to the invitation code. In order to avoid this kind of time-consuming waiting, you need to use Dandelion. After signing, it only takes tens of seconds, and you can click "Publish Application" and "Add Application" to complete the distribution.
Moreover, Dandelion is also a free internal test hosting platform with good service, good experience and free application. New and old developers are using it, because it uses CDN acceleration, and the download speed is very fast. At the same time, it has a high-defense server to avoid confusion. The ddos attack of the traffic has not been paralyzed yet. The most important thing is that the page is clean, and the user experience for downloading the app is very good. For small and medium developers, it is a good means of internal testing and increasing download users. If you have better tools, you can also share them in the comment area to communicate and progress together.
