Is it possible to get the email id in runtime?

Technically, there’s no way to get the email address of the person who built the app. First, you can have multiple email addresses that map to the same username (for example, I am ewpatton@gmail.com and ewpatton@appinventor.mit.edu, both will yield the same ai_ewpatton). Second, people can repackage their apps (e.g., AppToMarket) using a package name that is different from the one used to compile.

If we can take a step back to the 30k foot view, what would be the purpose of knowing this information?
