Wow, how did I miss this thread? I'm having HUGE problems when turning on copy-protection on my free apps! They use Sqlite so exactly the same issues as focuser has described. Sorry to dig up old issues, but seems no official response from the Android team yet?

I just hit the same issue and cannot disable copy protection any more. And the description in the Market is not exactly long enough to provide all the required information... :( In my case, the _new_ SQLite Database fails. There has never been one before in our app and still it breaks: 04-25

I can confirm that there is a bug with the forward locking on the Android Market. The problem I've experienced is that users upgrading from an unlocked version of Locale to a locked version of Locale are experiencing a crash when opening the app. The failure is that the app can't open its

That's correct, it's not my app's database. But my app uses a WebView and just stops there. Write anything that uses a WebView (or uses sqlite) and you should see the problem. The following is everything I got in LogCat's error view: 02-22 10:43:59.242: ERROR/Database(27448):
