If you use Android , you may have had Facebook update foisted upon you that did n’t require going anywhere near the Play memory . That made Google furious — so it’sbanned developersfrom being able to update apps except from through its store .
antecedently , if users chose to take into account initiation from unknown root on their French telephone , an alert in an app could easily take them to an update hosted anywhere . From the fresh set of rules , however :
An app downloaded from Google Play may not modify , supplant or update its own APK binary code using any method acting other than Google Play ’s update mechanism .
There does n’t seem much scope for arrest around that . So it looks like Facebook — and anyone else who saw the Play computer storage as an irritating middle man — will have to suck it up and play orb with Schmidt and co. [ GoogleviaVerge ]
