This seems suspicious. Why are you not releasing the
source code
immediately? Release often, release early.
Open Whisper Systems provide me with a private github repo to work on
the project in private until the software was 1/2 decent but I do not
have the privilege to set the repo to public.
While trying to find a trusted method for distributing the APKs to beta
testers I remembered the github "releases" feature which fits my use
case perfect. At this point I thought my previous plan quite silly and
came to the same conclusion as you so I sent off an email requesting the
repo be changed to public.
The pre-built APK is up and ready on the repo already, just waiting on
someone with organization admin privileges to open up the repo

Hello All,
I'm in need of some beta testers for my new Android app, RedZone.
RedZone is a Find My Phone type app with a geofencing twist that
I've been working on since Open Whisper System's Spring Break of
Code event earlier this year.
Awesome!
Upon public release the app will be fully open sourced and made
available for free on Google Play without adds or any of that other
junk.

The application has be written to support all versions of Android
4.2.2 and higher. I've tested it extensively on the Nexus One, Nexus
4 and Nexus 7 but now I need the help of others.
If interested please contact me, I hope to distribute beta APKs
starting tomorrow or soon after. If you know of anyone outside this
list who might also be interested please provide them with my email
address as well.
I would not want to provide free beta testing for anything before it has
been released as open source. I'm sure your intentions are honorable,
but I think you are doing this backwards :-)
