Android Market now supports multiple APK-files to a single program

Google has announced that the previously announced at the May conference Google I / O, the ability to use the developers on the Android Market several options APK-files to a single application, is now available in full.

Support for multiple APK-files, which are essentially executable applications operating system Android, available as an option when you publish new applications by developers to Android Market. It is believed the company should help developers get more control when you publish applications, depending on the target platform user. These individual APK files have the same package name, but will be different code and / or resources targeted to different versions of the operating system, screen size, GL-texture or chipsets.

When a user downloads or purchases an application, Android Market selects the appropriate APK file, depending on what features are the target device.

Once the download several files APK, Android Market treats them as part of a whole application, combining the description of the application, his approval rating and user comments. Also, all files will be grouped and other statistics, including number of downloads, reviews, and billing data.

For developers, this model will use the new API and features new versions of operating systems and "hardware" without prejudice to support users with older versions of the platforms.
