Your internal Android apps,
from rollout to upgrade
GCstore is an Android app distribution and upgrade solution for businesses. Distribute internal apps that aren't on the Play Store to just the employees who need them, and upgrade everyone with a single alert when a new version ships. No more passing APK files around in chat.
From rollout to upgrade, in one place
Browse and download apps on the web at appstore.gichansoft.com, or install the GCstore app on your phone to make installs and updates much simpler.
New-version alerts
When an installed app has a new version, you get a single combined notification. Each app also shows “update available” inside it.
Updates without prompts
Allow installs once, and later updates finish without a confirmation prompt (Android 12 and later).
Tamper protection
The store remembers each app's original signing key and rejects files signed with a different one. Downloads are checked against the server's record before installing.
Per-employee access
Internal apps are visible only to permitted employees after sign-in, and apps meant for the public can be downloaded from a link. Without access, you can't even see that an app exists.
Three steps
- Get the GCstore app Open appstore.gichansoft.com in your phone's browser and download the GCstore app.
- Allow the install source Because it installs apps outside Google Play, turn on “Allow from this source” once.
- Install the apps you want Pick an app from the list and install it. GCstore takes care of updates from then on.
For custom apps too
Android apps GCsoft builds for you can be distributed through GCstore to just the people who need them, without listing them on the Play Store.
About Play Protect
Google Play Protect may suggest scanning an app it hasn't seen before. Confirm the app is signed by GCsoft, then install.
Android first
GCstore supports Android apps today. iPhone and iPad device management is covered by GCsoft MDM.
