App Distribution Not Through The App Store

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hello!
My cousin will be getting married next year and I was thinking of making an app for his wedding. Such as details, about them, and maybe a simple game while you are waiting for the service to start. But what I’m wondering is how I could go about distributing the app to Android and iOS users (aka guests) before the wedding or as they arrive (I haven’t decided yet. Maybe one way is better than another for distributing?). I know about TestFlight but it is very labor intensive and not easy for the guests as you have to go through a few steps. I’m not working with computer people here :). I just think that the iOS app store won’t accept it because it is aimed at a few people and it’s not a game for everyone.

Thank you for looking and giving your suggestions!

Easiest way would be to do a web based game instead of a Corona App.

Thanks Dave for that suggestion! I haven’t made a web app before, am I still able to code it LUA? [import]uid: 59140 topic_id: 30478 reply_id: 122165[/import]

No you can’t (that I know of), you would have to use HTML5 or something like that.
