yes. 3 different ones. > > 2. When you tested a bunch of other apps' in-app purchases on a device > that is giving you grief, did they exhibit the same behavior? > i myself have not tested any other apps' in-app purchases because i don't know of any to test. Another app (comiXology) was tested (not by me personally) and has been used as comparison this entire time - not only was the same behavior not reported, but it was noticed that when initiating a purchase with comiXology, the Play Store is not launched or seen as a separate running process, where as it was with ours. It was speculated that this may have something to do with the Play Store taking focus from our app but i don't know where to go with it - don't know how to initiate in-app billing any other way than with the code that's available in the tutorials. > > 3.

We obviously did not publish it and download it form the Play Store to do a truly accurate comparison but i did not think to compile it onto my device and run it with the Play Store still running. I just tried and it worked as it should i suppose - i was returned to the app after "completing" a purchase. Going from this point, our app, assuming the correct response code is received, begins an asynchronous file download. It's at this point we find our app will be pushed to the background and the Play Store brings itself back into view in whatever state it was left - usually the download page for our app. > * > "Google Play, by definition, will ALWAYS be in a separate process.
