Well.. I doubt it would work, but you might try updating the app,
incrementing the version number, and uploading it to the market without
publishing it. I have no idea how the market would treat that, but it's
your only hope of a solution, unless you have something already built in.
Just as an FYI, in my apps I have always built in a feature that in one
of the main queries to my website the app passes it's current version to
the website. The server determines if the app needs upgrading, and if it
does, it adds several extra fields to the returned query, such as new
version, a message to display to the user, the URL to download the new
version from, and a boolean value of whether the update is required or
optional. When the app receives it, it checks the version number, and if
the passed back version number is higher than the current version of the
app, it has a built in routine to popup a dialog with the information in
the query, and ask the user if they want to download the new version.
It's easy to do if your app needs to communicate with your server
anyway. I put it into all my apps because I don't know what will happen
in the future, and a programmer's job is to anticipate every problem
possible, and deal with it in a user friendly way :).

Hi All,
Can any one give a solution for our problem,
providing updates to unpublished application( old users)
===============================================
Lets say we have a PAID app - "x-some".
1000+ users downloaded and using it, before 28-Feb-2010.
we stopped for some reason from 01-march-2010, by "unpublishing the
app" from market.
however, we found some bug in x-some and want to fix it and also to be
available to only 1000+ users who already downloaded it.
We dont want this app to be seen by new users.
Only old users( who downloaded this paid app), should be able to view
it and download the new fix.
Please tell us,how to go about it.
