Good news for Android App Developers: Multiple APK support coming to Android Market
Jul 25, 2011 Android updates
It’s almost been 2 weeks since Google announced the number of Android Device activations. Google has now revealed its new offering to help Android app developers manage their apps more effectively in Android Market – Multiple APK support.
Multiple APK support allows Android developers have extra control over their app distribution. Previously, developers could upload only a single APK and only one version avaible for download for an Android app or game. However now, they can upload multiple versions of an APK for a single product listing, with each one addressing a different subset of their customers.
“These APKs are complete, independent APKs that share the same package name, but contain code and resources to target different Android platform versions, screen sizes, or GL texture-compression formats. When users download or purchase your app, Android Market chooses the right APK to deliver based on the characteristics of the device.”
With single application listing, developers will have multiple versions to target Android phones and tablets. This will be most beneficial when new platforms become available and developers would want to test or try their Android app without any change to their current customers or user base.
“Multiple APK support gives you a variety of ways to control app distribution. For example, you could use it to create separate APKs for phones and tablets under the same product listing. You could also use it to take advantage of new APIs or new hardware capabilities without impacting your existing customer base.”
Developers can access this right away. Google has updated the Developer Console to include controls for uploading and managing APKs in a product listing.
