[android-developers] Re: Publish modified APK to the Android Market without triggering an Update to existing users?

I don't think you can do that.

My users have been understanding of updates that have to go out for
the sake of compatibility with other devices.

I use minor version numbers like 3.0.1, .3.0.2 etc for minor fixes or
compatibility updates, and when they run the app after an update, it
shows what has been updated and I provide further explanation if the
update doesn't affect all users.

Android users should be understanding because they know there is a TON
of hardware out there that we have to support.
