+1 Completely agree and support this proposal. - Would free developers from gunkwork and let them focus on features. - More usable for users by reducing clutter on AM and device. - Another advantage is that it prevents the situation where the user forgets to remove the free trial product after purchasing the full product, and if you have background processes or phonelisteners, they collide. Worse still, some users delete the paid product and wonder why they are still getting purchase reminders.
I would add to the proposal, one more strong like-to-have: - Dynamic licensing: Upon purchase, AM (optionally) makes a call to a URL provided by the developer, passing an IMEI# or such from the phone. Developer returns license string. AM conveys this to the user, who has to enter it to unlock the full version. This exchange between AM and developer's site is secured either by source-IP restrictions or other password known only to developer and AM. BTW, this is how BlackBerry App World already works. They have Try & Buy AND multiple licensing models to choose from like None, Single, Pool & Dynamic. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
