App unavailable in Myanmar

[Charles Flèche]

Hi everyone,

It seems that the CommCare Odk v2 Android application is unavailable in
Myanmar :

- I cannot find it by searching the Google Play Store
- when I paste the app address
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.commcare.dalvik into a web
browser I'm redirected to the Play Store application where a warning message
stating that the application is unavailable in my country is displayed
- using the Web interface https://play.google.com I cannot install the
application to my devices due to region restrictions

The only available Dimagi applications are RapidAndroid, Respiratory Counter
and Quizzi.

Now the weird thing is I remember deleting the CommCare app (downloaded in
Europe) and reinstalling it while in Myanmar. Maybe the .apk has been cached
locally ? Maybe thanks to installing the app in a country where it is
available first I can keep on installing it on my phone ? I have no idea.

But on a fresh, Burmese phone, I cannot install the application through Google
Play.

For the time being I'll try to manually install the Commare .apk from my
European phone. But I thought you would be interested to know that installing
CommCare is not trivial in Myanmar.

Oops, I may have spoken too fast : it seems that Android doesn't keep the .apk
after installing them, so I don't install CommCare on my Burmese phone.

Would someone be nice enough to upload the CommCare Odk v2 .apk
(org.dimagi.dalvik) somewhere ?

Many thanks,

I've used the chrome extension apk-downloader
http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader to download ZXing and CommCare
Odk v2 from the Google Play store.

Maybe I missed direct download .apk link on the CommCare website ?

Charles,

You can find the latest copy of the CommCare APK file from our build server using these instructions (there's a link to the build server in this guide)

You should be aware that the reason that CommCare is not available in the Google Play Store in Myanmar is that there are somewhat vague regulations regarding the import and use of "cryptographic" technologies like the ones we use to secure data. As per our terms of service you're responsible for ensuring that you are aware and are following any regulations applicable to the areas where you're using the tool.

Let us know whether you have any additional questions.
