First of all, you have to prepare your device's settings to install the APK file from third-party sources. Installing an APK file in Android is simple, but it requires doing some settings before installing APK on Android. However, third-party sources also offer Android apps in the form of an APK file to download and install. If you are an Android phone holder, you mostly download the apps for your device from Google Play Store.

The only difference with say a Xamarin.Forms application would be how you package the configuration file the code you’d need to write to read the configuration file and of course the XAML for displaying the contents to the screen. The process I’m going to describe will work for any Android APK regardless of the toolchain/framework/technology set that you’re using to build your app. Ok to begin, what I need is a release-ready APK and for the purpose of this post I’m going to use a Flutter app. In this post I’m going to manually walk through what this process would look like for an Android APK (and yes, before you all jump up and down and say that I should be using an app bundle, I’m aware of this but let’s do this process step by step). In my previous post talking about targeting different environments I ended with the proposition that what we need to be able to do as part of the release pipeline for an app is to adjust the configuration file that’s included in the app package.
