This can be great news for Android app developers because it will allow these phones offer apps on a wider array of the company's hardware. The brand new change is one of Google's major efforts to take on the problems that have been experienced with fragmentation. Multiple versions of the same software package can now be combined into one Android Market listing. The previous rule solely allowed for one APK per product listing. The benefit to uploading multiple versions of an APK are that each type can address a different niche of your customers. The different variants share the same package name, but contain coding this targets different versions available on the Android platform, a variety of screen sizes and GL texture-compression formats. The correct APK is delivered to the customer, based on the signatures and characteristics with the users device.
Initial reports of this new market system detection surfaced last month on the web version of Google's Google marketplace. Users just go to the web browser and sign in, then opt for the app they wish to install. This system then checks the suitability of the selected app and the hardware that is specified inside settings of the user. Approved apps will then receive a environment friendly message that says "this app is compatible with your device" or a yellow message that says "this app is definitely incompatible with your device. "
Now Android app coders will have the capability of providing bonus versions that are works and within the same offering, instead of cluttering up the souk with multiple listings that end up confusing the user. Many APK support will give the developer more options for prevailing their app distribution. Most notable, a developer can create a different free grammarly premium for smartphones and tablets under this same report. Taking advantage of new API's or hardware capabilities without greatly effecting your customer base should be viewed as a major benefit in order to giving the Android Market a try for app developers.
There has not been a date set for the release of the new-look Android Market app, but leaked versions have been cropping right up online for download and installation. Google did broadcast plans to unveil a completely new Android Market app allowing for customers to purchase books or rent movies from their drugs, smartphones and devices. Android Market has gone through a new overhaul that is embodies more of a Windows Phone 7 "Metro UI" look, instead of the previous Green and White motif.
