What are the implications of installing an app in marketplace while its debug flag is set to true?
What debug-flag do you mean?
If you mean the
android:debuggableflag in theAndroidManifest.xml, then this means, that every person can use a debugger and connect to your aplication via USB. Everybody can breakpoint the application and see which lines of codes are executed when. If imposes a security risk if you do anything what should not be revelead.If you mean you signed your app with a debug-key, see Rahuls answer, although you can not upload a application without a fully featured release key (this was possible months ago but is blocked by google now)
If you mean you output debug-information via LOG.d(), see Fenders answer.
