AndAppStore introduces payment system with in-app purchase checking.
AndAppStore has launched a payment system that allows Android developers to list pay-for applications and provides the ability for applications to verify purchases at runtime. This provides developers with the ability to ensure that even if their application is copied they can take measures to prevent their application offering the full range of functionality to users who have not paid for it.
The payment system makes use of PayPal which allows developers to specify the price of their application in different currencies (if they want to) and allows users to choose to purchase in a currency they are comfortable using. The use of PayPal also means that developers can benefit from the added fraud prevention methods that PayPal offers.
AndAppStore, unlike other application directories, do not charge a fee for paid applications which means that once PayPal have deducted their fees developers receive 100% of the funds, making AndAppStore the most profitable per paid sale Android application directory currently available to developers.
More details can be found in the application submission page available to registered developers at AndAppStore.
AndAppStore provides first Android application directory client with WVGA support.
Version 1.4.6 of the AndAppStore client has been released and is the first publicly available Android application directory client to specifically include support for devices with resolutions greater than HVGA.
Version 1.4.6 has been developed to work on all versions of Android but includes modifications which will be supported in the next version of Android (labelled the Donut release) which will allow higher resolution devices to determine if an application can provide users with a full screen experience.
AndAppStore is committed to providing applications to users on all Android devices and developers can list their applications for free. AndAppStore also offers a build of the Donut SDK to Android Developers which will allow them to include support for high resolution devices in their own applications.
The new version of the on-device client can be downloaded from AndAppStore.com.
