Application Signing
|
Android applications must be signed before they can be installed on a device. For de-
velopment purposes, we’ll be signing our example applications with a debug key—a
key that you already have on your development platform. However, when you distrib-
ute your application commercially, you’ll want to sign it with your own key. The
Android developer document titled “Signing Your Application” has the details.

Application Distribution
|
One way in which Android is quite different from other platforms is the distribution
of its apps. On most other platforms, such as iPhone, a single vendor holds a monopoly
over the distribution of applications. On Android, there are many different stores, or
markets. Each market has its own set of policies with respect to what is allowed, how
the revenue is split, and so on. As such, Android is much more of a free market space
in which vendors compete for business.
