Is Android showing app ads in share menu now?

Question

Android is showing an Adobe app in the sharing menu and "Open with" dialog as if it's installed but will install it when I click on it.







Is this a new perk of advertising with Google Play? Is Adobe paying money to place an ad right in Android?

Answer

Blame Microsoft not Google



This clearly is a violation of monetisation and ads policy as stated in the blog. See Google Play Content Policies
