GooglePlay

I’m not really sure what the point of this video is, but I guess just be generous.

Be kind to people, because you never know how much they might need it, or how far it’ll go.

Open problems

Here are some issues that are currently unsolved in this space. First, no one has figured out how to get the version history of an app (1), only how to return the latest version number (/fdfe/details). Older versions numbers are still valid, and are accepted by /fdfe/details and /fdfe/delivery. So if someone can discover how to return these old version numbers, it simplifies the process of working with older APKs.

Second, no one has figured out how to disable the device check, which means any request is checked against the device in the request, and rejected if the device does not have the required features.
