[android-developers] Re: Upgrade non-market app with a new market version.
Is that so? I thought that only apps installed from the Market can be updated. If that's not the case, that means that whoever pirates an app can get updates to that app on the Market? I asked this very question on the Market discussion group and the answer was no. Which is it?

Oh, no, not for paid apps. That still has to go through payment verification which should fail if the app was not paid for by the user. A free app should work fine though.

[android-developers] Re: Upgrade non-market app with a new market version.
Hello, Unless market or non-market apps are installed by diferent ways, i think that is possible to update the non-market app using new market version . The question of pirated software is not valid because if you have non market app pirated to upgrade you should publish you app on Market. Two things can happen you probably will be catched :) or you will publish a clean app to be possible to update. Thank you for your feedback. BR Thanks for information i am also check in other (non ofitial fonts) and the feedback is yes On 15 Set, 18:03, TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 11:59 AM, Zsolt Vasvari zvasv...@gmail.com wrote: If that's not the case, that means that whoever pirates an app can get updates to that app on the Market?

Hi psyke, You can perform OTA just following the same requirements Android Market performs. VersionCode greater than the one is already installed, signing certificates need to match.package name needs to match... Later after all the bureaucratic things are done you can publish the app in the android market with a greater version code and this will update the second version that was installed as OTA. I've tried my self already...just don;t forget to follow the same requirements from the Android Market. Remember that the user can disabled the option of Installed app that doesn't come from the android market, if this is check OTA cannot be executed because it doesn't come from the Android market.. good luck On Sep 15, 9:18 am, psyke eusebio@gmail.com wrote: Hello Guys, I am developping (for my company) an app included on a project that will have 2 versions: - 1st simple version to download using a OTA server, clients accesss to an URL to download. - 2nd version more complex to be published on the Market. The question here is that the process to publish on the Android Market is under bureaucratic internal process and it takes a long time, so the idea do reduce the time to market is to provide an OTA version. There is any possibility for users that download application via OTA to upgrade the application for version published later on the Market? (Both Application will be signed with the same key).
