This is from from ADC 2 announcement : http://code.google.com/android/adc/
"When you enter an application in the ADC 2, we will make it available to all contest judges for free, exclusively for the purposes of judging. If you intend to sell your application after the conclusion of the contest, you may submit a "trial" version of the application for judging. We recommend that your trial version include full functionality, but with a timed expiration, rather than including limited functionality with no expiration. Judges will evaluate your application based only on the functionality accessible to them, so it makes sense to provide the fullest range of capabilities possible in your contest app." >From what I've read so far in this group about timed expiry trial software is: 1. Its a violation of the T&C of marketplace. If you have made your app available for free you cannot charge for it at a later stage. 2. There is no way to persist data between uninstallation and re- installation. So, even if trial software were allowed the users can just uninstall and reinstall without the app having any chance of verifying that the trial period is over. How does one create a "trial" version on an application? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
