So you are supplying your users with you app already bundled, e.g. as
a zip file.

What happens in a months time when bugs are reported?
Do you give them another zip that contains the same named artefacts?
What about in a further months time when more bugs are reported?
How will you tell which versions they were using?
How will you be able to reproduce the problem on your desktop with the
same install base and compare that against the code?

The standard best practice is whenever you give something to someone
outside of your dev team you want released versions that never change.
