Why do some open source mobile app developers only put their app on Google Play? - eviltoast

I noticed on github that some developers offer to download the app from Google Play without offering other options to download the compiled file ( the compiled file is missing on github too ).

This does not only apply to applications that are in beta. Why is that?

    Not everyone wants to maintain multiple release branches. They’re offering the app in the way the majority of users will install it, and unfortunately your use case is less common.
