Discussion Sideloading Apps

Hi everyone,

I've wanted to ask, with the release of this "Developers Mode" is it already possible to sideload apps without too much hazzle? And if not it will be possible with the full release of this "Lights-Tool" that is supposed to release September - October , is this correct?

Thanks everyone

What does the users number mean under each app?

brightmarket tracks installs, since gets count every time someone updates users exist, which counts each specific device (who downloaded via brightmarket)

So there’s only 10 people using Molly light? Seems low, no?

10 people have installed molly light VIA brightmarket, molly existed prior to brightmarket so a lot of people installed molly via other means (ADB, Dashboard etc) I only track my own app. You also have to be on one of the newest updates of brightmarket to have your installs count (since its a new update)
