Encryption bug prevents paid apps from working on Android Wear devices

Those who pre-ordered Android Wear devices might have one important issue to contend with: your paid apps might not work on your smartwatch. The apps for Android Wear are usually downloaded from Google Play along with the smartphone component and will be installed via Bluetooth automatically. However, it has been reported that paid apps aren’t transferring to the wearables.

Android Police claims the problem is related to Google’s app encryption measures that is intended to keep pirates away. The Android Wear devices just can’t seem to find these Wear apps in encrypted packages. We’re hoping Google remedies this problem soon.

Wear Aware helps you keep track of your Android smartphone

Wear Aware is designed to add a bit more functionality to your Android Wear device. It is like a leash for your smartphone that when you walk away from your device, it vibrates and plays an alarm to let you know you left your phone behind. It’s a pretty simple app and we’ve seen this on the likes of the Samsung Gear watches and the Pebble smartwatch but it is still good to have that option on the new Android Wear devices.
