Ouch. Why would that be hard-coded like this?
Because App Central is the official Window-Eyes app distribution center.
What happens then if, for example, I make an app for a certain piece
of software and need to host it somewhere else, then another
individual makes an app for the same software, uses different
techniques and version numbers, and puts it on app central or visa
versa? Couldn't that cause a conflict?
Unless they give it the exact same name, it shouldn't be an issue. You
can already install multiple apps for a single piece of software. That's
actually, I would argue, one of the selling points of Window-Eyes apps.
Why not use app central by default but allow packages to override this
if necessary?
An off site location would have to conform to the XML specifications and
URL naming conventions of App Central. It would seem, if one were going
to go through the trouble of maintaining that kind of setup, one would
just use App Central. If App Central is lacking in some way that would
make someone not want to use it, that's something we need to address.
