Question

Is there anyway to bypass 'Unknown sources' setting without having the application actually downloadable in the market? Signing up for the market is fine but I do not want the application actually available via the market due to partner restrictions. However, installation should be smooth without requiring the user to allow installation of application from non-market applications.

Answer 1

No. The whole point of the "unknown sources" setting is to explicitly prevent what you're trying to do.

(Or at the very least, I truly hope there is no way to bypass that setting. It's a security setting users configure to prevent unwanted apps from being able to install on their phone.)
