This is not what I'm seeing. I'm writing a new app which has never been published or in draft. I have two devices. One (N1, running 2.2), I'm logged into my main Google account (which has the Developer account). The other (Hero running 2.1-update1) is a test account I use (no developer account).

I'm wondering if it would be better for all draft (never published) apps to follow the rules set up in the Dev Console (rather than just returning LICENSED)? Because: 1. Its more intuitive to the dev (as can be seen from this thread) 2. It gives the dev more control - he can test an app fully (th

Mark you are obviously right, returning always licensed has no sense, is no useful and doesn't give any help to developers. I think that this behaviour is just lazyness from the google developer side. On Aug 8, 11:40 pm, Mark Carter wrote: > I'm wondering if it would be better for all draft (neve

I do see this behaviour too (though dev account on emulator and test account on N1).

You can have the one your testing use the same "android:versionCode" as one you already uploaded and it will allow you to test, without having to upload a newer version. This is what I did and it worked. On Oct 24, 11:21 am, swinefeaster wrote: > I have to say the google market is a really terri

is 'draft' the same as activated/not published (since last apk upload)? If so, is there a delay between when it is counted as a draft and when it is uploaded? I have a draft (at least I believe I do), but I still get ERROR_NOT_MARKET_MANAGED on a test-account On Friday, August 6, 2010 4:26:28 PM

It's a little hard to figure out what the initial report is describing here, but I suspect it's this: The test response settings in the Market publisher console only affect users who are (a) the developer who owns the publisher account, or (b) listed as test accounts. Normal users are unaffected

Yes, it's necessary. We need the application to be listed in Android Market so that we can actually check and see if you've purchased it. (We send the package name and version code of the application to the licensing server -- if your app isn't published, we won't find a match for the package name.

If the app isn't in Android Market, the license server will return ERROR_NOT_MARKET_MANAGED. LicenseValidator considers that to be a fatal error due to programmer error, and should invoke the applicationError() callback method. My understanding from the server team is that uploading a draft versio

So to confirm. If an app is not published (nor draft) then the response is dictated by the user's (i.e. the user running the app, not the one who developed the app) setting in the Dev Console. If the user does not have a Dev account (like many beta testers) then the response will be like "Respond n

Yes, the problem is for apps which have neither been published nor are in draft. In this scenario, it really does not make sense that the response is based on the user's developer console settings. It would be much better if it always returned ERROR_NOT_MARKET_MANAGED. On 24 September 2010 13:17,
