<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="System_access_and_copy_protection">System access and copy protection</h3></div>

<p>Applications developed for distribution on Google Play allow the developer to enable copy protection which prevents the end user from copying the application from the phone. Because the Android Dev Phone allows unrestricted access to the OS, this copy protection is disabled. If the developer enables copy protection on their application, then the application does not appear on Google Play for the Dev Phone.<sup id="cite_ref-Copy_protection_on_the_Android_Dev_Phone_1_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Copy_protection_on_the_Android_Dev_Phone_1-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
