Hello, We are developping mobile application for tourist sites and as you can guess, most of them are outside urban centers and poorly deserved by 3G/4G or even ADSL links.
So when visitors come to these sites and need to download the application and its content we are facing of Internet bandwidth problem. A solution is to use a cache box which stores locally the content requested on Internet and so, allowing dozen of peoples to download Internet content which in fact is reply locally! Wondefull!! you provide MB with a poor long range ADSL link as fast as a fiber link. No in fact, that's not so cool! Because of the PlayStore HTTPS access, it's impossible to cache the application! Funny because I didn't think to say that one day, Apple do much better here. Access to AppStore is done through HTTP and so the application can be cached. Our dozen of visitors install iOS application and download multimedia content using only few kbs of bandwidth which is not possible with Android version! Arghh! So, as Apple, usually paranoiac accepts HTTP access to the Appstore, please consider to also provide HTTP access to Playstore and allow us to use mobile applications outside urban centers!
