Android :: How Distribute Paid Application / When Paid Market Is Not Available?
Feb 22, 2010
this question is now obsolete, as Android Market includes much more countries and such services as PayPal Mobile Payments Library are available.I'd like to sell my Android application, but I live in Poland and in my country* Android Market supports only free apps (we cannot sell and we cannot buy too).What is the best way to sell application in such situation? I can accept PayPal money transfers, but I don't know how to distribute APK package without exposing it to getting pirated. Did someone tried it already and succeeded? you may be surprised, paid apps are supported only in 12 countries worldwide.

I have uploaded my paid app "Legion" and I can see that I am making sales but why is this app not visible on my phone? I can see other paid and free apps. The android platform of my Samsung Galaxy phone is 1.5 and here is part of my manifest.

i just exchanged my evo and now on the new one i dont have the top paid app tab in the market. Everything worked perfect on the other one. What i was able to figure out so far is that when i create a new gmail account everything works fine. when i sign in with my old one i'm still not getting the top paid app tab. Definately something to do with my google account but i have no idea what it could be especially that it worked yesterday. Anyone have any ideas because i really dont want to change my email address

It's been a week of non-stop issues and extremely unprofessional silence from Google (other than the poster saying "Just to let you know we're looking into this", and I'm considering staying for another week max and then pulling out my paid app from Market. Actually I'd pull the free one as well but haven't slept on that yet - perhaps I'll leave it to direct users to AndAppStore and SlideMe.My question is am I even allowed to pull out a paid application given that I have sold it already (to < 100 customers though)?

Do I have to upgrade to rc33? I have it connected to wifi, but no update so far. Do I have to put a sim card in?It will be better to provider a button to check for newer version, and simply give a response like "we know everybody is on rc33 now, but we won't leave you alone. your ticket number is 23323, we will schedule a update in 2 days later, be patient..".

I have a Vodafone NZ 'Google Experience' HTC Magic.This phone was released in NZ back in late July, but as of yet we still have no access to paid apps in the Android Market.It would appear we are not alone, as posts to the market help forum reveal similar concerns for the likes of Switzerland, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, Israel, Czech Republic and mainland China.Now in and of itself I can accept a delay while all the nuts and bolts of international tax laws etc are worked out, but what is particulalrly galling here is the total lack of information on what is going on.Locally, vodafone are polite but basically seem as much in the dark as I am. This seems strange given that Vodafone group obviously have a worldwide agreement with Google to market the Magic as a 'Google Experience' product.Google simply don't respond personally on the forum and the only help comes from forum long timers who link to a page on the market site that is completely out of date - it has had the same typos for months!
As far as I can work out, availability of paid apps to customers seems to be somehow coupled to whether developers in your country can submit paid apps to the market at large. I'm sure there is a reason for this, but it seems pretty weird, given that Google Checkout works in NZ already.If Google are serious about taking on the iPhone store, then they really need to address this urgently, crippling their users by only allowing distribution of paid apps in half a dozen (mostly European) markets is crazy - especially given the enormous potential of markets like China, which doesn't have the iPhone.The other worrying aspect is the lack of professionalism in the handling of this by whoever is responsible for the Market project. If Google wants to play with the big boys then they need to start behaving like grown-ups and take some lessons in customer service.

I live in Singapore which does not have any paid applications yet.I see a lot of good applications that I want but cannot get because they do not have a free version (for example RemoteVNC Remote)Is there any way to get paid apps in a country which does not support the paid marketplace?I do not want to use pirated software, however if this is the only method I would not mind donating the money to the dev and then downloading a cracked file.

Does the android market support distribution of content packages? Is there any way a dependency structure can be created so that to obtain a content package for the app depends on the app to be installed as well?

Is there a way to gift a paid app if you are the developer? I want to gift VIA the android market. I don't want to give apk's in the wild, and I might want to use Market Authorization on the gifted apk's (although I suppose if I can just handle market authorization I can send the secure apk, I just don't want to mail insecure ones out).

Are there any plans to implement some sort of group/team to review the applications before they're released onto the Market?I've never written anything for iPhone but from what I've read there's at least some quality control in place an application has to go through some sort of review process before it's made available for public consumption, I believe.So why not do that here?Let's be honest there are some great programs out there, and there's absolute crap.some of these are borderline scams.I can think of a few apps that have great descriptions but when you download them, they're nothing more than slideshows or something similar.I've even seen the feedback for one of these applications which said that you have to wait 24 hours before it will work which is, as we all know, the time at which the sale is final and no refund is given.If that's not a dodgy practice I don't know what is.I know it's still an early stage in the game for the platform but it's got a lot of potential - we wouldn't be here if it wasn't, would we? The only way to draw more quality developers to the platform is to implement some sort of control. it seems like it's the wild west here.

This just occurred to me today and it would be really nice. I've bought a few apps I no longer want/need and would be willing to sell them to someone else at a discount to recoup some of my loss.Any thoughts on this? I think it would need to be an update to the android market to have an option to 'transfer' to another user so updates for the app would show up in the market. You could keep the developers happy by giving them an option to make their apps eligible for this or not.I suppose this would only be feasible for apps that are also the type that are private and can't be backed up to the SD card with something like Astro File Manager.

We are planning on this strategy to distribute our application to clients. We would like to get your your thoughts, if you have done something similar, in terms of whether we are missing something. We have tested this approach and it works.We want to distribute our application to our clients without putting it on the market as we do not want every one to download it. We want our clients to be able to easily get future upgrades to the application. Here is how we are planning to do this:
1. export the apk file using the Eclipse wizard.
2. put this apk file on a website. The user will be able to go to this website on the browser on the phone and install the 1st version of the app.
3. next versions of the app will have an incremented android:versionCode, and android:versionName in the manifest. A button in the settings will point to a link which will have the next version of the app. So to upgrade the user will click on this settings button and download the next version and click on the apk file to replace the old version.All subsequent versions of the app will be signed by the same certificate using the export wizard in Eclipse

I have had a free version of my app available for several months. With the new features I am about to release in the latest version, and with paid apps now possible, I intend to split the app into a free lite/trial version and a paid full version.I am aware that I must create a new app with a new signature for the full version b/c I can't change the current free app to a paid one.I don't mind this, but,is there any way I can transfer the thousands of feedback and ratings I have accumulated so far to the paid version even though it will have a totally new signature?

Once the market opens for paid apps - will we developers be able to see email addresses of paying customers? Or, will there be some other way to identify legit purchases, so, if we receive support requests via email, will there be a way to tell whether the request comes from a paying customer?

this may have been covered before but have had a bit of a search but cant find the answer.I just want to know that if my GF also gets an android phone can any apps I buy also be installed on her phone like you can with certain fruit based phones? I know that is tied to your iTunes account but I set up her ipod my my account so can install any apps i purchase on hers too. But she will have to have to use her own gmail account for her phone so was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

What determines the market search result order?
It doesn't seem to be downloads or rating.
The Top free/paid listing does not make much sense either...

I want to see paid apps in but can only see free apps in the market - not a mix, only free apps. Is anyone else having this problem?I searched the other topics, but most of them talked about how they can't see certain paid apps, but I can't see any.I am in Canada and bought my phone from UK (O2). I'm using wi-fi to access the market, which confuses me even more because the operator codes don't even come into play with this.

I have a question about paid applications from AndroidMarket. I develop a multiplayer game witch interact with a Web site
Can I sell on Android Market an application, and then sell from the web site (not by the android market) some downloadable content or some extendable rights ?
Example : A RTS game on android market that allow you to obtain 500unit/days (normal functionning) And then on the webSite or from the Phone you charge to obtain +250unit/days
The game is fully functional but you can pay to obtain more turn, or more data food, or more etc ... as all web online game.

Anyone else having an issue with the android market? I can download and update free apps with no problem, but I suddenly can't download paid apps. (And no my credit card did not get declined ).
I successfully purchase the app, I got the e-mail that the purchase went through, then it hangs at "authorizing purchase". Specifically, I'm having this issue right now with Vignette.
