Updating JW Library from Play Store with a different account

[carlos]

A sister has a couple older tablets she wants to give to two children in her congregation and she asked me to prepare them. I reset the tablets to factory state, now I would like to install JW Library. If I install JW Library from an APK, it won't update, so I need to install it from the Paly Store. But obviously I don't have the children's email username and password to be able to use the Play Store, or even know if they have one.

 

So I was thinking I could add my Google account, install JW Library, then remove my account. Do you think that would work? Will the app update once they introduce a Google account, even if it's not the same it was installed with?

What if you simply create a gmail address for each child, and use that to activate the tablets?

That's a good suggestion, but the question is still relevant. If I install JW Library with a Gmail account I create, and later the user replaces it with another one he has, will the app keep updating?

Try it and see what happens. Use your account first to get it set up and then change it to one that you make up for the child. Check it after the next update.

I have done installed JWL and uploaded all the children's videos on a tabley that we had previously owned that we passed on my wife's grandchildren. I then signed out of Google Play on the device and then let my step-daughter log into Play store using her login details when she got home.
