Loading an APK into Freetime

Hi, I am using eclipse to debug my app within Freetime on my HDX device and this is fine (i.e. I open FreeTime, select a profile and then "Debug as application" - the app runs within Freetime). However, I will need to send out the built APK to other users for testing and I can't figure out a way to get the built APK into FreeTime (if I install the APK on the device, the app doesn't appear as loadable content when I select a profile to add content to). Can this be done, or is there no way to test a built APK within Freetime without it being available on the store?

Hi Swimmmer, Thank you for reaching out. Whitelisting of sideloaded apps is not a supported use case in FreeTime at this moment. Alternatively, you can launch the app within FreeTime through adb. adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n package_name/.activity_name
