As a developer its hard to see what is correct and what isn't. Gameplay enhancements like Papaya, Openfeint etc who allow in-app purchase of credits appear legit and surely Google is aware of their existence and how their operate. But as you mentioned, reading the TOS they just might not be. I get a double feeling over it since they are generally big players and have a big userbase they seem to get a different treatment. Banning them would hit millions of users and hundreds of apps. I just don't see Google killing their own app store for that 30% cut they're missing. Strange, because this would mean their policy only applies to the "defenseless" individual developer. In the end its pretty vague and that's not a great basis to make a choice whether to develop certain features for an app. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
