Magic moments happen when your app does something very useful with minimal effort from your users -- like figuring out their location for them automatically.

Updates to the course also include an explanation of the new GCM Receiver, as well as an entirely new lesson on publishing your app, which explains how to build and sign an APK so you you can distribute your app on Google Play.
