The reason I get "huffy" about these types of implementations is that we have millions of users. If 0.05% of them download this monstrosity and have a problem, we could get 100's of emails complaining about defects or crashes. These emulators hide that fact so it is nearly impossible to tell if they are from actual devices or these emulators. The result is a huge waste of our time debugging what isn't a problem and user frustration. I might add that we research and answer EVERY email request we receive within 24 hours. Something most developers don't do.
Luckily, this emulator seems to be an "opt-in" thing instead of one that simply installs Google Play, so we won't have to be concerned with this particular implementation. -John Coryat On Saturday, November 24, 2012 1:15:24 PM UTC-6, Kristopher Micinski wrote: > > What they're doing is probably against the rules for other reasons: ads, > and their platform doesn't pass the Android CTS. > > At the same time, I don't think you should get super huffy about your apps > being on their system, everyone will face the same problems you see, and > it's clearly their fault for your apps sucking because of their > implementation's problems. > > (But I suppose I do understand your worrying they'll review your apps from > their buggy system...) > > Interesting idea, though...
