Deploying an app and posting QR code on web

Posting an app inventor app to a Google Sites page

If you generate a QR code directly from App Inventor, it will be restricted so that only you can install it on your phone. If you want to get a QR code that can be scanned for install by any Android phone, do the following:
  • Download apk to computer (in Designer, Package for Phone | Download to computer)
  • Download source code (zip) to computer (in My Projects page, check app and choose More Actions | Download Source)
  • Create portfolio page for app (In Google Sites, create page)
  • Attach apk and zip files to page
  • Get URLs to these files by right-clicking attachment (View) and choosing Copy Link Location)
  • Create QR code with embedded URL of apk file(one QR generator is at kaywa: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/).
  • Add QR code to portfolio page.
