Hi Dan,
Tell me just a little more about hosts entry re-point. Does that give the
ability to take over a URL over the entire Internet or is it perhaps more
localized to a specific machine or Intranet? What would I search for to
learn more about this?
Thank you!

Anyone who reads the spec should be able to work out the backend, and
we'd be happy to share this method with other app stores, but when we
offered Google our previous licensing solution the response we got was
a Thanks but no thanks, so I'm not sure if they'd be interested.

Unfortunately has a few problems:
1) The user has to have an internet connection on first load of the app.
2) If its via HTTP or some other well documented protocol, could easily have
a hosts entry re-point where to ask for confirmation to a server that just
responds OK. This could be overcome
I would be happy if Keys were generated. My app already has a backend that
is queried quite often. I have a registration flag and know the androidID
of every device. If I could generate a key and confirm that key is valid
for that device then I could just flip the bit and you have a registered
That's the scheme we've already implemented at AndAppStore with a
slight twist to make it harder to generate spoof responses using a DNS
repoint.

Its not bullet proof, but it is thicker plating. Apparently the AndAppStore
people have already implemented something similar. I feel like it is a step
in the right direction and hope other like Goolge Market and SlideMe will do
somethng similar!
Perhaps they can even adopt the AndAppStore
We could ask AndAppStore if they are willing to share.
So Al, is what you guys are doing with the app security something that could
be shared with Google and other app services? (I will study your security
API soon and hopefully be able to accommodate it in our apps!)
I ask because your ideas
