DROID 3 - Souper Android Development app

     Have been searching for a resolution to an issue that I found when browsing the updates for my apps.  When browsing my apps i found an app i had not downloaded and am unable to uninstall it from my phone.  The app is called Souper Android Development and i have not been able to find a way to remove it from my phone.  Has any found a resolution to this issue.

Ann154: Doesn't work.  This app randomly appeared in "My Apps" on my Droid 3 a day or two ago, without a title, icon, or uninstall button.  Nothing matching it appears in Settings > Applications.  Google for '"Souper" Android Development' (put "Souper" in quotes so Google doesn't autocorrect) and look at the articles on DroidForums.net and xda-developers.com.  Here's what I can glean from what I'm seeing:
1) This only seems to be affecting Droid 3 users for some reason.
2) The app suddenly appears in "My Apps" in Google Play without any permission given by the user.
3) The app has no title, no icon, and is from developer "Souper Android Development".
4) Apparently the app used to appear as being from developer "Brett Henderson", but changed to "Souper" within the last day or two.
5) No uninstall button is provided in Google Play.
6) No corresponding app appears in Settings > Applications.
7) Some people are reporting drained batteries, possibly from Google Play constantly trying to update, but I have not experienced this.
8) Some users have reported performing a master reset on their phone, only to have the "app" reappear.
9) It is unclear what, if any, function this "app" performs, let alone malicious.
Google seems to have been goofing around over the last couple of weeks with how apps appear in "My Apps", especially with updating inbuilt apps.  I half-wonder if this is some glitch on Google's part, and there really isn't an unauthorized app sitting on my phone, just some bogus record associated with Google's app store.
Anyway, regardless of what this "app" actually is (or isn't), Google/Verizon needs to squash this pronto, because there's a lot of upset Droid 3 users out there worried that some unauthorized app has just deposited itself on their phone and could be doing who knows what.
And if this app has appeared on your phone, make sure to scroll to the bottom of the app's page and "Flag as Inappropriate", with "Harmful to phone or data" as the reason.  If those reports pile up, Google will have to take notice.

  • Developing apps in Xcode?

    I have recently started developing apps in Xcode, now my problem arises when I want to develop the same app for android or windows. Does this mean I have to learn some new programming language or a software? If I have to, how different is it from Xcode? And also if its possible to develop from an OS X system.
    Thanks in advance!

    First Xcode is the IDE not the language. The language for IOS and OS X development (a t least up to now) is Objective-C. (Swift, Apple's new language will eventually replace Objective-C for a most app development).
    As for cross platform development I have head of some 3rd party web based sites that claim the ability to develop for IOS and Android but I have not personally tried any so can't say how well or if they work.  I can see the underlying logic, the model, being cross platform but when it comes to things like the GUI its hard to imagine given the differences between IOS and Andriod.
    One thing is no matter how you develop your code you will have to have Xcode on a Mac in order to submit the app to Apple and the App Store, there is no way around that.

  • Download issues with Android DPS App

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if any of you are trying to download a folio from the android dps app and cannot change navigation pages. The folio is downloading but it looks like it freezes until the folio is completed downloading.
    In iOS, you can download a folio and click on other navigation page.
    Is this a fix for adobe or am i doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    You must be using the legacy Android app which does not support progressive download. You should try using our new native Android application, which does.
    Here's Bob's help topic on building native Android apps: https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/building-android-apps.html
    Here's a list of what's supported in the different apps. Note that not all overlays are supported yet in the native Android viewer (audio is still being developed): Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS supported feature list

  • Porting existing Android native app to Adobe AIR

    I indent to port a existing Android native app to Adobe AIR for android. Reasons: To use my existing AS3 skills, "cost" for native is too high and soon port it to iOS.
    Difficulties I face here:
    Existing app package, say "com.mygame.myapp" has to be retained. By using FB with AIR SDK, we get a "air." prefix to the package name. It becomes "air.com.mygame.myapp".
    Will this solution still solve the problem in AIR SDK removing "air." prefix from package name has any working solution!?.
    The help link http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/opt-out-air-application-analytics.html is dead now. iOS specific is found here Opt-out | Adobe AIR app analytics | iOS
    Please suggest me a Mac suitable solution.
    In Android, using a ".keystore" file, we need to export as the ".APK" file. In AIR, if we publish using a new ".p12" signature file would it be compatible with Google Play, and it rules.
    App's existing users should find difficulty in upgrading the app.
    Another unanswered thread Possible to remove "air." appended on package and target a .keystore rather than .p12?
    Thanks a lot.

    I was able to figure it out with the help of Jeff Ward Ooh, I just discovered how to easily remove the 'air.' prefix when packaging…
    Tested and works fine with AIR SDK 15, Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite. actionscript 3 - Android App ID prefix problem - Stack Overflow

  • Open a Android DPS app from a Safari link

    Hello:
    Is it possible to open an Android DPS app from a Safari webpage using a hyperlink (href) ? In iOS I've found a solution but I'm not sure how to implement it on Android
    Saludos,

    If it can be done with native code (iOS and android) then you could also write a native extension to launch an app.  However, because mobile apps are installed in individual sandboxes apps probably have no way of telling the parent OS to list current apps or run a paticular app.  This is just my opionion from what I have understood so far. I think you can create some sort of native extension and use the following methods below.
    Have a look here:
    http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
    As for iOS you would need to use App urls which would be application specific.

  • How do i download apple developer apps, specifically xcode

    Hello,
    I am trying to download a software developer's application called xcode (version 5) to a PC so that I can run it using  OS X in a virtual machine (Oracle Virtual Box should work) and learn how to develop apps for iphones.   This is a free apple application.  The problem I am having is that I cannot find a download link or button.   Yes, I have an apple id and I also am registered as an apple developer.  I have tried using firefox 26.0 and IE 9.  The OS on the PC from where I am attempting to download is windows vista basic 32 bit.
    First, I went to http://store.apple.com/us  and typed xcode in the search bar at the upper right of the screen.  I did not see a link for logging in anywhere.
    That search took me here:  https://developer.apple.com/technologies/ and I see "download xcode" in the left panel.
    I click it and it takes me here:   https://developer.apple.com/xcode/    It says "Download Xcode 5 for free."   Great, that's what I want.  What do I click on to do it?   I see no dowload link so I clicked on the Downloading and Installation FAQs  link and it took me here:   https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/
    Now I see "The latest version of Xcode is available as a free download from the Mac App Store.  " ok lets click there ... and guess what?  I'm back to square one again!!!     https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?ls=1&mt=12
    I also tried using itunes.   That only showed xcode BOOKS!
    Can't somebody please explain to me the thought process in using the apple website correctly?   This seems to be the most convoluted and user-unfriendly site I've ever been on.   Full to the brim with marketing and promos but very little to guide the user.   I have an apple id and I did register as a member of the iOS Developer Program.  I am a software engineer with 15+ years experience... not a rookie to download and use software!  What am I missing here?
    Thanks a lot for any help!

    I found the answer which someone posted for an earlier version of xcode.  Apparently, going to the "app store" per the instructions, will not work.
    Instead, use the link below to the developer downloads page, click on the little white right arrow next to the app and it will expand.  The download link (not obvious) is a very small blue link over to the right.   Tricky, apple, tricky.

  • Android email app formatting errors

    Some emails viewed by the standard Android email app don't format corrrectly.  However the formatting is correct if I use the Gmail app instead.
    Below are two screenshots of the same email. The first using the standard email app has errors - some HTML has not been rendered correctly. The second using the Gmail app is fine.
    Am using the latest KitKat.
    Any suggestions about how to fix this?
    Standard app
    Gmail app

    Unfortunately that failed to work.   Its only a very small number of emails that are affected - from certain senders.  So the ones from Banana Republic (for example), always seem to go wrong on this email app. They work OK on the Gmail app, on Windows Live Mail on my computer, and on our IPad.
    I now realise this app is a Sony specific app and not a general Android app.   I believe there is a minor bug that fails you correctly handle certain HTML sequences. I suspect it has probaly not been kept up-to-date with all the HTML protocols.
    Could you report it to the Sony developers.
    Many thanks.

    You will need a Mac, with OS X 10.6+ on it, to be able to develop iOS apps.
    There is some info on these pages :

  • What is needed in a Mac Pro to start developing APPs?

    I am looking for information on what Mac Pro (processor speed, memory, and storage capacity) is needed to start developing APPs.  In addition, I would like my Mac Pro be viable for the next three years as I learn how to use the system to build APPs and learn basic applications to build APPs as I anticipating changes in the iOS system and programs like Mountain Lion that could use more memory and storage capacity.  I am beginning this journey and like to know what system would best fit my needs as Apple continues to progress in their technologies.  What should I get in a Mac Pro with 8GB or 16GB, i5 or i7 processor, 256GB or 512GB storage, and 13 in. 2.8GHz or 15 in. 2.5 GHz?
    Thank You

    You could buy a new MacBook Air every two years and still come out ahead of what a base Mac Pro costs.
    A Mac Pro is not going to go out of style in 4 years.
    laptops or their parts are not upgradeable and do tend to fail a bit more. And some of those systems limit you to 16GB RAM but they do have (slower) M.2 SSDs (400 or 700MB/sec vs 1200-1400MB/sec) SSD blades.
    If you want to run lots of code and VMs then maybe by accident you are in the right place

    waiting for the the info.

    There is no Outlook Web Access (OWA) as there was on the older devices. However, this has nothing to do with accounts you accessed via BES5. you can add multiple Exchange accounts if your IT admin allows adding of the accounts to BlackBerry.

  • What do I need to start developing apps?

    Hello good people of the internet! I have a question about how I would start to develop apps for iOS, so I decided to come to the source.
    Here's my backround. I grew up with PC's and I love tinkering with things. I'm a PC gamer who loves to mod games and screw around with those kind of things. I'm a college student studying Aerospace Engineering, but I have pretty much no coding background. I have a PC laptop (2 year old Toshiba Qosmio), an iPhone 4s (in the shop because the battery's rusted), and an iPad Air. I am eager to learn to make iOS app because it is a skill that particularly interests me and it looks like fun.
    My question is, what do I need to do to start developing apps. I know I need a Mac, so what Macs have enough horsepower to develop apps? What coding language(s) do I have to learn? Where can I learn said coding language(s)? Where do I get the app development software, and how much does it cost? How do I get my finished apps onto the App Store?
    I thank the good people of this forum who have taken the time to view my question, and I give even more thanks to those who respond.
    Grazie mille!
    -Matt
