How can I give away a free copy of my paid Android app?

Question

I am an app developer and I have a paid Android app in the market. I'd like to give one free copy to a specific person. Is this possible to do, and if so, how?

Answer 1

One way I know is to have the person purchase it, and then process a refund. Unfortunately, you'll have to do the process again if you publish any updates (or if the person wipes their phone).

That, or you can send the APK file to the person, although again this is something that needs to be done per update.
