I'm working on an app with affiliate referral.
A referral can be sent in the URL like so:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=< MY APP >&referrer=< AFFILIATE NAME >
I'm willing to read the referrer parameter, but in order to do that, the app needs to be downloaded from play store.
I don't want to upload my app to the store yet, it's a long process for just debugging.
Therefore I'm asking if there's a way to emulate a play sore download for a local apk.
* EDIT *
I found a way to track my referral here: How to test android referral tracking?
Despite that, my question stands still.
