Due to special circumstances from Apple, there is a limit of one downloaded app per phone on iOS. Download wait times may also be a bit longer. You can download and install as many apps as you like to your Android device.
In order to facilitate iOS testing, you will need to follow the instructions on the page to use TestFlight.
To download your Android app:
select Download > Download Android
Enter your email address in the pop-up window
You will be sent an email with a link to download your app.
To install the app on your Android device, you must indicate that you trust Thunkable. To do that:
Open your Android device's Settings menu.
Navigate to Lock Screen and Security.
Set the Unknown Sources option to true.
In addition, you may be alerted that Play Protect has blocked an unsafe app. This is because you are downloading the app outside of the Play Store. If that is the case:
Select the APK file you downloaded to your device.
Click Install.
Click More details.
Click Install anyway.
Click Open.

Due to Apple recently updating its enterprise certificate guidelines we are unable to facilitate direct downloads at this time. Historically we've had an agreement with Apple that allowed Thunkable to give our users this capability, however the updated eligibility requirements preclude Thunkable from accessing this feature and making it available to our users.
