Is it possible to check whether an application was installed via Android market (Google Play Store) or by other means?
Basically what I want to know is whether an application is genuine or not. If the source of installation of an app is Play Store, then we know that the application named com.dropbox.android is the actual dropbox application but if the source is not Play Store, then anyone could have created an android app with same package name and installed it on device.

Learn everything you need here. Google Play Services is one of the most important apps on any Android phone. It helps connect everything, provides easy tools for app developers, and helps older Android phones get modern features without the need for Android OS updates. Google Play is also quite elusive.
While Google Play is strongly associated with Android, it is not a part of the stock Android experience. It’s actually an extra piece of software for Google’s specific Android experience. That’s why the Play Store isn’t available on Android forks like Amazon’s Fire OS.
If your device isn't listed, it may be newly released, or it may not work with Google Play. If you need more information on whether your device can use Google Play, contact the device manufacturer. Was this helpful?
The Google Play Store is a digital storefront for various types of media. People most commonly use the app to download apps and games. However, the Play Store also sells e-books, TV shows, and movies. Everything, aside from apps and games, has its own app so you can optionally browse those sections only.
