Deployment of my app to Matlab users.

I have created an app and I want to distribute it - for evaluation - to other users but without distributing the .mlapp file.

Is there any roadmap for this ?

Thanks

See this answer:

Does this require the (very expensive) MATLAB Compiler Toolbox?

[Cris LaPierre]

The recommended approach uses the Standalone Application Compiler, which is included in the MATLAB Compiler toolbox.

Here's an example: https://www.mathworks.com/help/slrealtime/ug/create-standalone-instrument-panel-app-by-using-application-compiler.html

Thanks @Image Analyst for your crusial question.

Thanks @Cris LaPierre for your useful answer .

[Image Analyst]

@Manolis I presume you don't want the other users to see your source code. Will the users have their own installation of the MATLAB development environment?

@Cris LaPierre is there still a way to encrypt your source code into pcode and have the other user run it (if they have the full MATLAB development environment)?

[Cris LaPierre]

There is stil the pcode funtion, but that only obfuscates *.m files. It does not work on mlx or mlapp files.

However, I did just discover this Answers post from MathWorks Support Team:

How can I generate p-code for my '.mlapp' file created in App Designer?

@Image Analyst . Yes I am interested to be evaluated by Matlab users.

@Cris LaPierre . The workaround at the link seems interesting.

Thanks both.
