Enhanced method to provision VOIP-over-3G capability #395

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Currently Sipdroid makes itself friendly for distribution on Android Market
by distributing as two separate builds-- one with 3G option enabled (from
sipdroid.org) and one with 3G disabled (for Android Market). The downside
of this strategy is that users of the off-market version have to manually
check for updates, and it divides Sipdroid's userbase.

A better strategy would be to distribute a single unified build (both on
Market and sipdroid.org) that has 3G disabled by default. A separate
"unlocking" app signed with the same cryptographic key could then be made
available exclusively on sipdroid.org which writes a flag into Sipdroid's
/data/data to enables 3G. This is the same kind of strategy that some paid
apps (e.g. Nitrodesk Touchdown License Key app)

This would enable all users of Sipdroid to update with the Android Market
and the statistic in Android Market would more accurately reflect the
entire userbase of Sipdroid.

The market version includes 3G.
