Android App Updates Now Restricted From Bypassing Google Play Store

Android App Updates Now Restricted From Bypassing Google Play Store

Back in March we reported that Facebook was testing silent updates for its Android app. Silent update means that Facebook would have circumvented the Google Play Store and app updates would have been downloaded in the background while a device was connected to a Wi-Fi network. User's wouldn't be notified that an update is available, the update would have been automatically downloaded and then the user would have been prompted to install said update. Google apparently doesn't want developers following in the footsteps of Facebook, so its has updated the Play Store policies and barred apps from circumventing the Store for updates.
