Aptoide is a distributed marketplace for mobile applications which runs on the Android operating system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alternative to Google Play Store )〕 In Aptoide, unlike the default Google Play Store, there is not a unique and centralized store but each user manages their own store. The Android application used to access the stores is open source, and there are several forks such as F-Droid〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About F-Droid )〕 The communication between the client and servers is done using an open protocol based on XML. The concept is inspired by the APT packaging manager, which can work with multiple sources (repositories). When the user wants a package, they use the client to search for sources where the application is stored. The name Aptoide is formed from the words: "APT" (the Debian package manager) + "Oide" (the finalization of Android word). ==History== Aptoide started as a proposal of Paulo Trezentos at the 2009 Caixa Mágica Summer Camp. The proposal was accepted and later became what today is Aptoide. This first stage of development was later developed in the scope of SAPO Summerbits. The idea behind Aptoide came from different sources. On one hand, the research in Linux installers in Mancoosi European Project, Paulo Trezentos PhD project and Portugal Telecom A5 phone, project where the team participated. In the end of 2010, it was launched in the Bazaar Android site. Bazaar Android provided the possibility for the users to create their own store. In August 2012, Aptoide and Bazaar Android brands were merged to allow a better communication.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BazaarAndroid is now Aptoide.com )〕 In November 2011, Aptoide was incorporated〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crunchbase company page: Aptoide )〕 in Europe. In May 2015, Aptoide announced that it would start its operations in Asia〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Portuguese Google Play competitor Aptoide brings its branded app store concept to Southeast Asia )〕 by opening an office in Singapore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aptoide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
