many 3D games already take that much space.
The new limit means that instead of installing large resource files that need to be hosted on your own infrastructure and downloaded through your own code, you can now have Google host these files for you.
This also improves the user experience, because there is no second tier install process and the users sees the correct space requirements on the market page.
- tonfa 15y agoAlso I've seen many people complain that because of this two-step install, you can't use the 15 minutes window to decide you don't like the app.
- gravitronic 15y agoIs it only a 15 minute window where people can call and ask for a refund? I've been wondering that. I see ~10-30% of my android app's purchases then cancelled.
- orjan 15y agoYes, 15 minutes: http://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134336&topic=1046718&ctx=topic http://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/answer.py?hl=en&...
- cube13 15y agoThe android market also auto-cancels your purchase if you are unable to download the app after a set period of time. I found this out when I bricked my kindle fire after trying to get the marketplace to work(it would allow the purchase, but couldn't download the new app). This change would probably help fix issues where the user can't download the content, but could download the app through the market.
