Unsure what your problem actually is, but I can assure you that the Market does actually do this.
Upon download request the give the Market an sha of the application -- once done download it will check this. If this succeeds it will pass the apk on to the package manager, which will then verify the signature of the apk also :) Tim On Dec 2, 1:05 pm, Brian Conrad <[email protected]> wrote: > Apparently the Market app does NO error checking for downloads.
