Answer 1

I don't think this is possible without a custom system, because you would need to do the following things:

• Edit Android's Application Installer to look in the application's manifest for something like expirationDate and compare it with current date.
• If the expiration date is not reached yet, you would start a new Handler thread to check the date every hour or every day, what you want.
• If the expiration date is reached then, the application would be automatically uninstalled.

And to install a custom system, you MUST root your device.
