Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Foursquare has built the most comprehensive location awareness engine to engage users with contextually-relevant, geo-aware content. Our Pilgrim technology was initially developed for our own consumer applications, and is now available to developers to embed in your own apps. The Pilgrim Toolkit app will provide developers with an opportunity to see our technology working first hand. NOTE: This app is for app developers who are looking into implementing Foursquare’s Pilgrim technology and have gotten a developer account set up with Foursquare.

Pilgrim Toolkit APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Pilgrim Toolkit APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 7b62df741e9993c5ae46b9b69aea1222.
