I need a way to share my app to allow people to download it for free with a coupon code or promo code or checkout code. I would like to post the code to a board, and invalidate it after some time. My app uses licensing and in-app billing, so mailing the APK may not be appropriate. The last question I saw regarding this was 6 months old, so I did not know if there was a newer solution available.
Accepted Reply. On your phone, open App Store, then tap on the center icon at the bottom named 'Apps'. Scroll down. tap on 'Redeem', then tap on 'You can also redeem your code manually'.
You can configure offer codes in App Store Connect. In the offer codes section, you can see your active and inactive offers, as well as the number of codes you have available to create. After you've configured your offer, you can create and download codes. You can create up to 150,000 new codes every quarter per app.
Promotions, or promo codes, enable you to give one-time products or trials to subscriptions free-of-charge to a limited number of users. The user enters a promo code, either in your app or in the Google Play Store app, and receives the item or subscription trial at no cost.
There is not a way to do this with the current feature set in the Play store.
You could produce a similar effect using the Licensing service (http://developer.android.com/guide/market/licensing) and perhaps in-app purchases. However sadly you will have to do most of the work yourself.
