LiveCode apps in Google Play

[J. Landman Gay]

Maybe ask on the forums too, but that may not yield much either. I've been 
doing lots of Android apps lately but they are all proprietary and don't 
get uploaded to the Play Store.

Rather than trying to identify specific apps, I'd like to see a 
conversation between Google and Mark where he could explain the behaviors 
in more general terms. On the other hand, since LC apps are 
indistinguishable from any others, maybe Google will just use their normal 
testing procedures and make decisions based on each app's functionality.
