Re: [android-developers] What is difference between the Android App downloaded using Google Play store and the one directly installed?

Thanks for your help.

I downloaded and installed one paid Android app using Google Play Store in phone with Android OS 4.3.

I wrote one test application which enumerates list of installed apps and prints apk download location them.

When I tested this app, I found that, this paid app was downloaded at "/mnt/asec". In this location, the directory named by that app's package name was created and it was having following files:

- res.zip (containing res directory, AndroidManifest.xml)

- pkg.apk

- libs directory

See the blog post for details, but in short the public part has resources and
the manifest, and the private part has code and assets.
