Google Offers Workaround for Bug That Stopped Paid Apps Installing on Android Wear
Google today acknowledged the issue and released details of a workaround. The bad news for developers is that, until it releases an update to its Wear SDK, they’ll have manually tweak their paid apps in order to get around a glitch that prevents apps from being extracted or read by the Wear installer.
“We have a workaround to enable paid apps (and other apps that use Google Play’s forward-lock mechanism) on Android Wear. The assets/ directory of those apps, which contains the wearable APK, cannot be extracted or read by the wearable installer. The workaround is to place the wearable APK in the res/raw directory instead,” Google said on its Android developer blog.
