I deliver the preinstalled tvBox hardware without a Google account. It is up to the user to login or not, since my App is preinstalled and doesn't care.
(in case you care, it's device to do sport scoring on TV sets: www.segnapunto.it)
So I cannot control if the user decides to login to google and check that auto-updates are on. In fact this is the main problem.
I cannot preconfigure a google account, to avoid somebody uploading porn to YouTube with my account
The Android TV does not request the user to google login unless he choses to, in order to downloads app from Google play or to update Apps he already has.

This is more or less my option 2), a splash screen standalone, etc. Thanks for confirming that this is possibile (I wonder for how long...)
It comes to my mind that many years ago I did a "can" standalone: the idea was to have an App that could run inside itself any stack the user decided to download, for different uses. It was like a "Browser/WebPage" paradigm, but done with LC.
Now, I wonder what kind of instrument the Google (and for that matter the Apple) store reviewers use, to avoid that users download an App supposed to do something, which instead gets from it own source a content that does a different thing. I would be worried if I was them.
All of this to say that, in order to implement the Splash screen method of updates, I have to rewrite a great deal of code and I wouldn't what to later backtrace to my previous version, because of Good objecting with it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
