Play Store is Google’s official pre-installed app store on Android-certified mobile devices. It provides access to content on the Google Play Store app, including apps, books, magazines, music, movies, and television programs in apps.

Play Store(APP) filters the list of apps to those compatible with the users device . Developers can target specific hardware components software components (like widget), and Android versions in play store.
Carriers can also ban certain apps from being installed on users’ devices, for example such as tethering applications.

There is no requirement that Android applications must be acquired using the Play Store in the device..Play Store applications are self-contained Android Package files similar to .exe files to install programs on Microsoft Windows computers. On Android devices, an “Unknown sources” feature in Settings allows users to bypass the Play Store and install APKs from other sources in the device. Depending on developer preferences, some apps can be installed to a phone’s external storage card in the device.

Application security

In Feb 2010, Google introduced a new automated antivirus system,that is called Google Bouncer, to scan both new and existing apps for malware (e. g. spyware or trojan horses) In 2015, the Bouncer feature and other safety measures with in the Android platform were rebranded under the umbrella name Google Play Protect, a system that regularly scans apps for threats

Android apps can ask for or require certain permissions on the device, including access to body sensors, calendar, camera, contacts, location, microphone, phone, SMS, and storage and much more.

In July 2015, Google described a new security effort that is called “peer grouping”, in which apps performing similar functionalities, such as calculator apps, are grouped together and attributes compared it. If one app stands out, such as requesting more device permissions than others in the same group in the app, Google’s systems automatically flag the app and security engineers take a closer inspection. Peer grouping is based on app descriptions, metadata, and statistics such as download count down

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
