Some of my stacks are for a classroom situation, so would like to deploy to
the various smartphones of class sizes of 3 to 20 students (1) preferably
cable-free (Wifi?), (2) easily for the end-user, and (3) as simultaneously
as possible.
On Mac and for iOS, it seems the best (only?) choice is Jacqueline Landman
Gay's AirLaunch <http://www.hyperactivesw.com/airlaunch/index.html>,
specially since it does so from withing LC itself.
But for Android? and on Windows?
Android apps can be downloaded from anywhere if the user has turned on
the option to download apps from "unknown sources", so all you need to
do is put the apk file on a server somewhere and give out the link. The
user goes to the link in a browser on their mobile device and when they
click it, the app will install. If their device prefs do not allow
installation from "unknown sousrces", they can turn the option on
temporarily in the Security section of the Android system settings.
On iOS, no distribution is possible until you have built the app with a
profile that contains the UUID for each user device. AirLaunch, or any
other third-party solution, will prepare the app for distribution but
iOS won't install it without the correct distribution profile. Apple
provides TestFlight which overcomes some of this limitation but I have
never used it so I'm not sure exactly how it works. Someone more
familiar with it would know more.
