BUT if your question is &quot;I bought an APP and i'd like to share it&quot; then no. Until IOS8 on apple devices of course where they introduced family sharing.

Thanks. &nbsp;Of course I am not suggesting that an app be shared outside copyright. &nbsp;I'd like to know if I can code an app to do this, a free one sort of like ShareIt. &nbsp;ShareIt is free and works well in the Android Space. &nbsp;I'm wondering if there isn't some way to make it work cross-platform.

Is it theoretically possible to share an app with another smartphone? &nbsp;A link to an app? &nbsp;...?<br />
<br />
If so, what would be involved?<br />
<br />
For example, I really like my Kindle reader. &nbsp;So here, good buddy, read this code on your device and presto! &nbsp;You've got it downloaded on your Android. &nbsp;Even better and probably way more complicated, here it is on your iPhone or BlackBerry.

Experts,

Is it theoretically possible to share an app with another smartphone?  A link to an app?  ...?

If so, what would be involved?

For example, I really like my Kindle reader.  So here, good buddy, read this code on your device and presto!  You've got it downloaded on your Android.  Even better and probably way more complicated, here it is on your iPhone or BlackBerry.

Share an app

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.
