Hello,

There are a number of things a user can do on Google Play without actually needing to login, like browse the available apps, or view which of the users' installed apps are updated on Google Play.

Another thing is that probably it isn't even needed to login to Google Play to actually get the APKs. There is a service called APK Downloader (http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/) where you just provide the software's ID, and it generates a download URL for its APK.

The market api does not allow you to browse google play without authentication data. however it seems like you can do everything but downloading without providing a valid android id.

evozi apk downloader: This service actually does kind of the same than the app, though login data is hidden. Note that this causes problems, because it will always be impossible to buy apps and they will hit google's download limit easily if many users use this service.
