Is there a way to share the link without publishing? I want to show the app I built using Glide app, that would be used for my children’s skiing team for Gear swapping. Thanks in Advance, Nermin ---

On a free plan, you cannot share the application publicly. Sharing a link would equate to sharing the app publicly. In order to share the app publicly which is publishing it, you would need to upgrade to a paid subscription. As a workaround, you could share screenshots or a video screen recording of your app, using video capture solutions such as Loom, Vidyard, OBS Studio, Screencast, Wistia, etc. (I’m not endorsing any of these). ---
