New updates for Google Play Store and Billing Policies That Affect Android Developers

Great News For Android App Developers

You can inform of end users about download links for your apps off the #googleplaystore

You dont have to use Google Play Billing

So I guess that means you can things like credits, upgrades, extra power ups using third party services like Stripe and #Paypal

This is a result of action against market dominance where Google were engaging in deceptive practices or forcing end users of Android phones to only use Google products and services, thus severely limiting third party competitors and businesses.

Now we need something to force Google Play to provide fairer and more transparent app moderation by their Play Store Review Team. Because at the moment they are Suspending developers apps and accounts without warning or justification. This has to change. Developers are creating online businesses that rely heavily on partnerships with Google Play for distribution, so its not right that they can end that business and income without clear explanation and proofs.
