[android-developers] Re: Upgrade non-market app with a new market version.

Hi psyke,

You can perform OTA just following the same requirements Android
Market performs.

VersionCode greater than the one is already installed, signing
certificates need to match.....package name needs to match...

Later after all the bureaucratic things are done you can publish the
app in the android market with a greater version code and this will
update the second version that was installed as OTA.

I've tried my self already...just don;t forget to follow the same
requirements from the Android Market.
Remember that the user can disabled the option of "Installed app that
doesn't come from the android market", if this is check OTA cannot be
executed because it doesn't come from the Android market..

good luck
