Hi! I’m currently creating an app for a county project, and I’ve run into an issue. I’m trying to share the project with the judges, but they don’t have thunkable accounts. Now, I need to find a way to share it with them, preferably without spending too much money. The due date’s today, so fast help would really be appreciated! Thanks!
Here to help! You can either send them a file by converting your app into the respective file format like so:
Only click on the “Download iOS/Android” only. This will convert it and you can email or send it through Whatsapp (email is recommended). I cannot stress this enough, please don’t send it anywhere else!!!
There are some docs online how your judges can enable these types of files (mainly because their applications only come from app/play store).
Downloading on Android is simple.
- In your Thunkable project, click the “Publish and Download” icon and select “Publish Android”.
- You’ll receive an email with a link to download the Android Package Kit (APK) file after you click “Download Android”.
- Download the APK file to your phone, (info from Thunkable Docs) and open it.
(thanks to @matt_conroy for correction)
Downloading on iOS is a little bit complicated.
- Follow the instructions on the Thunkable publishing wizard to publish your app to Apple’s TestFlight.
- Download the app from TestFlight and install it on your iOS device.
I hope this helps!
Small edit here: Downloading on Android will send an APK file, not AAB. Those are used for publishing and only available on a paid plan.
