I read a news of a malware taking this path (introducing a "legal" version and updating it for the purpose later) through the Google Play the other day. 
No installations/updates by default (without a direct permission) must be allowed, of course! Shitting into someone's property (device) at your own discretion is something outstanding (I mean, some "take the liberty" already)!  |
I could imagine this happening with apps. I made the android app on our end just throw a banner up saying the app is out of date and give you a link to download the update and install it. As
vreihen16 says, I do have a feeling this might be a moot point if android won't allow this kind of install in the future. I have been putting alot of effort into the mobile view with the new Web 2.0 site, as even in the best of days alot of android people seemed to prefer using the site through chrome then through a dedicated app. We shall see..
