Hi, I'm working on an application that needs to be blocked for a specific country on the Play Store.
For instance, my application should be available worldwide except in France, which means that french users should not be able to download the application, even if they are outside of France, but german users should be able to download it, even if they are currently in France (even with a french SIM card) - this is the most important part, and, I think, the most tricky one :p I've read the documentation about filters on Google Play ( http://developer.android.com/google/play/filters.html), but there is no specific answer about this question, and no real details about how the country filter works. I think the filter used to be based on the SIM card installed on the phone, which mean the restriction I need would not be 100% guaranteed (it could be bypassed by changing the SIM card or by using a 'market enabler'), but I also read somewhere that the filter may now be based on the IP address of the phone, which would also mean I would be out of luck... Any official words about the mechanism behind the country filter ? Is there any way I can achieve the restriction I need ? Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
