App uninstalls itself without user intervention. Is it possible?
Pergunta
I'm trying to write a UpdateManager which automatically updates the application. Everything is ready except for the method RemoveMyself()
.
Question: can app uninstall itself without user intervention?
Solução
If you install a new version of the app - and the new version has exactly the same package/class (package attribute of manifest element and android:name attribute of the main activity) as the old version, it will automatically overwrite the old version with no need to uninstall it.
