Android:当付费 Google Play 在我的国家/地区不可用时如何分发付费应用程序
我想出售我的 Android 应用程序,但我住在波兰和我的国家* Android Market 仅支持免费应用程序(我们不能出售,也不能购买)。
在这种情况下销售应用程序的最佳方式是什么?我可以接受 PayPal 汇款,但我不知道如何分发 APK 包而不使其被盗版。有人已经尝试过并成功了吗?

I'd like to sell my Android application, but I live in Poland and in my country* Android Market supports only free apps (we cannot sell and we cannot buy too).
What is the best way to sell application in such situation? I can accept PayPal money transfers, but I don't know how to distribute APK package without exposing it to getting pirated. Did someone tried it already and succeeded?
* Author's country wasn't supported at the moment of asking

有几种选择可供您选择。
如果您想将您的应用程序发布到实际的 Android 市场,您可以尝试在美国或其他支持付费应用程序的国家/地区寻找业务合作伙伴,并让您的合作伙伴为您列出该应用程序。据我所知,有一些开发人员已经做到了这一点,没有出现任何问题。基本上,他们有值得信赖的朋友,他们会创建一个 Android 市场开发者帐户,然后这些朋友会列出该应用程序。如果您在支持付费应用程序的国家/地区之一没有值得信赖的朋友,这可能是一个不太理想的选择。
另一种选择是在第三方市场上列出您的付费应用程序,例如 SlideME 或 AndAppStore。 AndAppStore 的创始人 Al Sutton 是 Android 开发者社区的积极参与者,定期在 android Google 上发帖 群组 并随时更新他的 Twitter Feed 的 Android 新闻。
还要小心从 Android Market 上的免费程序链接到第 3 方应用程序商店。如果您想通过免费应用程序出售付费应用程序,请注意 Android 市场开发者分发协议
这基本上表明免费应用程序是可以的,但如果您想销售这些应用程序的完整版本,则只能通过 Android Market 来实现。当 Android Market 首次开放时,付费应用程序不受支持,一些开发人员指示用户直接进入第 3 方应用程序商店或他们自己的支付门户,并遇到了 Google 的问题。我确实相信您可以通过鼓励用户访问您的网站然后在您的网站上提供付费版本信息来解决此问题。
祝你好运。
There are a few options available to you.
If you want to put your app up on the Actual Android Market you can try to find a business partner in the US or another country that supports paid apps and have your partner list the application for you. I know of a few developers that have done this without issues. Basically they had trusted friends that would create an Android market developer account ant these friends would list the application. This can be a somewhat undesirable option if you do not have a trusted friend in one of the countries where paid apps are supported.
Another option would be to list your paid application on a 3rd party market such as SlideME or AndAppStore. The founder of AndAppStore Al Sutton is a very active participant in the Android developers community regularly posting on the android Google groups and keeping his twitter feed updated with Android news.
Also be wary of linking to a 3rd party app store from your free program on the Android Market. If you want to sell your paid app from your free app be aware of clause 3.3 of the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement
Which basically says free apps are OK, but if you want to sell a full version of these apps you can only do it through the Android Market. When the Android Market first opened paid apps were not supported and some developers directed their suers to go directly to a 3rd party app store or their own payment portal and ran into issues with Google. I do believe you could get around this by encouraging users to go to your website and then have the paid version information available on your website.
Good luck.
您可以使用 Android 应用程序的替代第三方市场之一。 维基百科有一个可能性列表其中SlideMe 看起来最有前途。
SlideMe 有一个网站,您可以在其中发布您的应用程序、一个用户可以在手机上运行的市场应用程序以及他们的自己的前向锁定(复制保护) )实施。他们说他们支持国际开发商,但我不知道如何向波兰付款,所以你必须自己检查一下。
我同时向 Android Market 和 SlideMe 上传了一个免费应用程序。我从 Market 获得的下载量是从 SlideMe 获得的下载量的 30 倍。因此,可能值得在官方市场上证明您的应用程序的免费试用版,但将人们重定向到 SlideMe 以获得付费高级版本。
You could use one of the alternative third-party markets for Android applications. Wikipedia has a list of possibilities of which SlideMe looks the most promising.
SlideMe has website where you can post your application, a Market Application which users may run on their phones and their own forward locking (copy protection) implementation. They say they support international developers but I don't exactly how payments to Poland would work so you'd have to check that yourself.
I uploaded a free application to the Android Market and SlideMe at the same time. I've had 30 times more downloads from the Market than from SlideMe. So it may be worth proving a free trial version of your application on the official Market but redirecting people to SlideMe for the paid premium version.
另一种可能性是在 jetCarrier 注册一个帐户,并使用该地址注册开发者帐户。它应该会通过,但是我不确定如果你这样做是否会产生任何法律后果。
Another possibility is to register an account with jetcarrier and register the developer account with that address. It should go through, however im uncertain if there's any legal repercussions if you do this.
