Thanks for the reply. I suspected that it was something like this, but I assumed that since it had the Google Play application that it had already been approved for location manager. I decided to go the skyhook way when I continued to develop the application. So back in May, I got the SDK and dev key from them. Is there a way that I can integrate the SDK into the actual os (ICS) on the unit? Or should I just package skyhook with the app so I can be sure that all hardware is supported?
