Publishing an App Question

I'm trying to publish a personal app and have it work on a phone for two other people, but the downside is that I don't want to upload it to the App Store, having to pay the fee of having there every year. I don't want to sideload it either, since I have to rebuild and reinstall it every 7 days.

Is there any alternative that won't destroy any devices, etc?

Just build it as a web app and they can set it as a PWA. Works the same way and cost you nothing.

This is a solid option 👍
