HN 用户提问:我的应用能免费发布到哪里?

1作者: isntThatSth10 个月前
我开发了一款移动应用,从中学习了很多应用开发的流程,但下载量并不多。由于各种原因,我决定放弃这款应用。在关闭了我的 Apple 开发者账户并将应用从 App Store 下架后,我尝试从 Play Store 移除这款应用并关闭我的 Android 开发者账户,结果发现 Google 规定,只要你的应用有过一次下载,就无法移除应用或关闭账户。 Android 开发者账户包含大量个人信息,如果我想删除这些信息,或者至少不公开这些信息,唯一的办法是将应用转移到另一个 Android 开发者账户。因此,我现在愿意免费赠送这款应用(因为它可能没有足够的商业价值来盈利)。 在这种情况下,免费赠送应用意味着将源代码(Ionic + Vue)交给新拥有者,并将 Android 应用转移到新拥有者的 Android 开发者账户。至于 iOS 和 App Store,由于应用已经从 App Store 下架,新拥有者只需将应用上传到 App Store Connect 即可(而不是直接从我的账户转移)。 有没有网站可以免费赠送你的应用?Flippa 不适用,即使只是列出应用也要收取 29 美元。我认为出售应用源代码无法赚到多少钱;这就是我寻找免费赠送方式的原因。或者,这里有没有 HN 用户想要这款应用(已经拥有一个活跃的 Android 开发者账户,我可以将应用转移给他们)?如果是这样,请随时通过我个人资料中的电子邮件地址与我联系,我会向您发送更多关于应用的信息。

I’ve made a mobile app that taught me a lot about the process of app development, but hasn’t seen a lot of downloads. For various reasons I’m moving on, and after having closed my Apple Developer and removed the app from the App Store, I tried to remove the app from the Play Store and close my Android developer account, only to find that Google doesn’t let you remove your apps or close your account ever if your app has had even just one download.<p>Android developer accounts contain a lot of personal info, and if I’d like that info to be deleted or at least not publicized, the only way I can close my Android developer account is to transfer the app to a different Android developer account. So at this point I’d be willing to give the app away for free (since it probably isn’t commercially viable enough to be sold for profit).<p>Giving the app away for free in this case means giving the source code (Ionic + Vue) to the new owner, and transferring the Android app to the new owner’s own Android developer account. With regards to iOS and the App Store, since the app has already been removed from the App Store, the new owner would just have to upload the app to App Store Connect (as opposed to getting it directly transferred from my account).<p>Is there a website that allows you to give your app away for free? Flippa isn’t an option; charging $29 even just for listing the app. I don’t think I can make any significant money from selling the app source code; that’s why I’m searching for a way to give it away for free. As an alternative, would anyone here on HN like the app (someone who already has an active Android developer account that I can transfer the app to)? If so, feel free to contact me at the email address in my bio, and I’ll send you more info about the app.
