Also, please read `Things you should own up to <#things-you-should-own-up-to>`__ +Asking for apks +---------------- + +Every once in a while, I get a request from folks asking for the zmNinja APK. +Most often, it is because their devices don't have Google Play Store. And +almost, always, they offer to pay, just not via Google's Play store. + +I'm sorry, I don't offer a non play store APK download mechanism. +This is why: + +* The moment someone pays for the apk, there is an expectation that the app + will be updated as well. If you get the apk from me, it will be frozen in time. + And I have no interest in supplying updated apks on a regular basis. I know some + of you think you will never need an update, but you will. Your OS may change, ZM may + change and suddenly the app may have issues. + +* There is absolutely no way for me to know or track what happens to the apks + after I send them out. You may choose to host the apk on a file sharing + site or send it to a colleague or family member who may make it available for + anyone else to download. I know most of you have no such intentions, but I know + for sure, a few do (I've had my apk show up on mediashare sites in the past). + For everyone who has asked me to "make an exception, only once", I'd do that only + if I knew you well. If I did not, I shoul be making the same exception to everyone who + has asked me. + +* The corollary to that is, as you know, the source code is on github and so + are the build instructions.
