[Q] Sideloading apps and Google Play

Hi guys
I was given an apk from Gameloft as a "gift". It is normally a paid app on google play. Is there a way to have the play store recognize my app so I can install it from there going forward?
Thanks!

As far as I know, Google Play will recognize the app even though you've sideloaded it.

You won't be able to get upgrades from the play store, but it will recognize the app is installed.

Thanks much =]
Too bad I'd love for the play store to be my one stop shop for the app going forward

Do you have the Google Play framework installed? Pretty sure you need that for YouTube. Then again, I can't remember if I ever had YouTube working or not.

I'm not sure about the regular youtube app, but I suggest getting the YouTube for Google TV app, I hear it works really well on the OUYA. Either that or use the XBMC Plugin, which is what I prefer.

The Youtube for GoogleTV app works great on my ouya.
But I would like to know how you guys got the xbmc plugin running. It just doesnt work for me.
Wich XBMC build did you install?

The YouTube app (for Google TV) from the Amazon store works great for me! I get the same error when I tried running the Youtube app from the Google Play store.

Works ok for me. Are you using the Hulu+ app or the website?

App. What Rom are you guys on?

Please turn off any ad blocking software. Hulu requires ads to be shown.

Also turn off hola if you use it, and use dns changer root app to change to tunlr dns's if you are outside USA

Google play store?

Hey guys, I am new to android in general, but I am finding my way around. I side-loaded XBMC, and that works like a champ so far. Is side loading the google play store an option?
Thanks!

Nope, most of the Google Apps don't work due to the way they integrate with Android, which is stripped out of the Amazon build.

Yes, I've been doing so for a few months now. But I cant use the remote to navigate, have to use Droidmote for that. I wonder if the AndroidTV has a nicer version to use on non touch devices

Which version of play music do you use? I am able to sideload the app but I can not log in. Is your ftv rooted or have you installed Google play services?

Wrong thread... For Q&A Help there is a thread for it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/helpNever mind.. Thought this thread to be mostly about non-store apps. Guess it is for both... My apology @mag13 .

Turns out I was unknowingly correct...
Even though they're apps, they're still threads regarding questions about the apps. Therefore, they belong in the Q&A section
