Ionic View - explained

Ionic came up with a good idea for releasing the apps for QA/UAT and also kind of sharing.
i will just explain the steps to use this feature.

Pre-requisite:
you and the recipient to whom you want to send should have Ionic accounts. go to this link and sign up to get an account https://apps.ionic.io/


Step 1:
create the project in ionic (as you do normally)
ionic start testapp blank

you can add platforms, push notifications and do the development as you want.
Step 2:
Now you need to upload this app.
go to the app directory (cd appname).
then use this command to upload : ionic upload

Step 3:
you can share the app with the person by using the below command.
ionic share test1234@test.com

Step 4:
The sharing is through the account associated with that email and ionic view mobile app.
you can download the ionic view mobile app from Play store and App Store.

Step 5:
Sign into the app with the registered mail id. here it is test1234@test.com. then you can find the app there.

Step 6:

If you click on an app it will show you a menu as below:

 Step 7:
If you select View App, it will get downloaded and it will show as like an installed App. sample screenshot for reference.

Easy way to share app....!!! 

Thank the Ionic team for their work to bring new features to simplify developers job.
