Apps installed on the SD card are placed in an encrypted container whose
encryption key is private to the device they were installed on.  They

Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to
provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.  All such
questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and
answer them.
