We don't have a beta process. You can just release an app on one of the dozens of app stores. There's an approval process for the Google Play store. But Android doesn't have just one app store. We can have thousands of app stores. Or we can download apps straight from developers code repositories. No permission required.

Roughly the same on the Google Play Store but no approval required on the other app stores. And the APKs straight from the dev. Got it. Thanks
