[android-developers] Can I disable updates updating old apps?

2011-05-01 Thread Droid
I want to put an 'install to SDCard' option into an app already in the
market, but do not want to make thousands of people do an update for
such a minor thing.

Can I disable updates so that only new downloads get the new version.

This is a big problem because continual updates often annoy users.

That is not a minor thing for a lot of people.

No - that doesn't even make sense.

This is a big problem if you *constantly* update for pointless things. When
was your last update? An hour ago? If it's been like a week you should be
just fine.
