Interesting topic.. I was just reading about DexGuard, which is about $450 USD I think.. seems worth it to me if it works well and you're making money on your apps.
Question though.. is there a way to know if someone bought the app (downloaded through a store it was published to) or just installed? If I wanted to put some data on the server side, so that only registered/paid apps could access it.. how could I ensure the app is a legit buy?
