Google Disable App Encryption in Jelly Bean due to issues with Paid Apps
9 August, 2012
Android JellyBean
Google released the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with some New security features, on of these security features is "App Encryption" which automatically encrypts paid applications APK for a specific device ID
to ensures an app downloaded on ones device can only be used on that particular device. This was created to combat the rampant piracy that has been seen on the Android platform.
Unfortunately, while the idea is excellent but the execution is not, as several developers and users of paid apps have found out. The problem exists with the way the encrypted applications are downloaded and installed. So, Google decided to disable this feature for now.
