Re: promo codes
They are unnecessary on Android. If you want to give your app to someone, you send them an email with a link to an APK and they install it directly.

- richardwhiuk 12y agoAPKs receive updates from the Google Play Store - at least free apps do in this respect
- forgotpasswd3x 12y agoWell you wouldn't need a promo code for a free app, so that doesn't really solve the problem. Also, you can give out promo codes over the internet, but I wouldn't just install any .apk someone sent me. It's hardly the same thing.

- deong 12y agoJust have the app detect that there's a new version available (via a call to your server) and prompt the user to download the new apk. I run betas of the BeyondPod app, and it does exactly this perfectly well.
