Pushlink

What Pushlink is

Pushlink helps administrators distribute updates for private Android applications without a third-party update process. It hosts APK files in encrypted form and says traffic uses SSL; it also says files will not be published or installed by others. Devices can be enrolled using QR codes, an API and CLI, or revocable safe links. Administrators can mark an uploaded APK as the current version and choose status bar, popup, or background update behavior. The service reports online and offline installations and tracks how many have updated. Device records can include status, last contact, device ID, and optional metadata such as model, IMEI, SIM number, or IP address. Exception alerts arrive by email, with Java stack traces and the last 100 Android LogCat lines captured. The web API supports APK uploads outside the administration panel and access to device metadata. Official integrations include .NET and Cordova; community plugins for Flutter, React Native, and Gradle are listed but are not supported by Pushlink. The free plan covers up to five installations. Installations over a plan limit are disabled and cannot receive updates or exception reports.
