Making an app non_shareable

[lanrejosh7 (Lanre Josh)]

Hi guys!
I discovered that in the device utilities you could actually make your app non_shareable by preventing users from accessing it’s files if not installed from play store. My question is; if a person downloads it from play store, if shared to someone else would it work for that person? since the app should recognize that this app was actually downloaded from play store. Also how would the app actually know it was from playstore, would it require the phone to be online or, is it going to be an offline sensing?
