What are the chances they are trying to steal your account info. Even one with 100k+ downloads. I found one that can automatically create and add my api key to it. All I need to do is provide the app with my account info......

Your stupid if you give your account info out.

API keys can be created and entered (semi)automatically without providing any account info — any app/site/person/whatever that asks you for your account info only intends to steal your account.

Report the app and find a better one.

Its a trap, and also a violation of the EULA.

edit: file a petition, tell CCP the name of the app, what their lawyers hotdrop the creator.

Lawyers hot drop an Android Market app creator? Really!?

I think they have better a better chance of winning a case against a russian oil baron whose son makes profit with RMT'ing EVE.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

Dollars to donuts he's talking about Aura for Android. Aura has a feature where you click a button and it sends you to the api page in the browser (https://support.eveonline.com/api/). If you're not logged in on the browser, it asks for login information... once you're logged in, you click the button again and it sets up the key for you and the page links back to the Aura app.

If this is what you're talking about, this is completely normal.

Aura is fine and doesn't need your login info. I've used it for some time now.

If a random person made an app for android that gave you access to your bank website, and harvested your internet banking details in the process, do you think your bank might win that lawsuit?

So if I am logged into my browser the button should work? Nice. Thanks.

Wouldn't be so worried about the Dev's of the apps. I belong to the community and the apps are scrubbed to ensure there isnt anything "fishy" going on. However, I'd watch out for CarrierIQ, if it's installed on your phone (Oooh, that is going to be a lawyers dream).

I'd be more concerned that your uid/pass combo is being transmitted securely by the app
That said I'd probably run it without the api key
