[android-developers] Romain Guy/Diane Help!
So we have an app that we have preinstalled with the Toshiba Thrive, unfortunately, we have an update to the app associated with the impending launch on Sunday. My question is this (and I have done some digging on the blogs, etc). We don't seem to be able to detect that an update is available. A typical app that was submitted to the market first, obviously detects if an update is available via the version numbers etc...but this doesn't seem to be the case with preinstalled apps. Any insight to this would be a big help - thanks you two Matt Powers CTO Applico -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

And this was the blog that gave me anxiety. http://www.letsgodeeper.com/2011/02/reinstall-preloaded-htc-apps-in-android-market/ On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 11:55 PM, Matthew Powers mtpow...@gmail.com wrote: Same package, same signing certificate, and an incremented version number On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 11:51 PM, Romain Guy romain...@android.com wrote: Was it signed with the same key?

Re: [android-developers] Romain Guy/Diane Help!
First, I believe that blog post is wrong, at least for modern versions of Android. I never used the workaround they describe, and I get plenty of updates for preinstalled apps. Second, if your app's preinstalled you must have a contact at Toshiba. Can't they help you push updates?

Re: [android-developers] Romain Guy/Diane Help!
We are the ones handling the updates, and I am just looking for some insight from people who have delivered preinstalled apps. If this is not the forum to do so then I apologize.
