Now review section 3.3: *You may not collect future charges from users for copies of the Products that those users were initially allowed to download for free. * Step 2 - Let that realization sink in. Ready? OK ... Step 3 - Curse the people behind the sorry-excuse-for-a-website Developer Console that do not give you any warning whatsoever that changing a paid app to free cannot be undone. Step 4 - Make a tough decision on how to proceed: a - Leave it be and move on with your life b - Unpublish the current version and upload a new app with a different package name, make it paid and never try this "sale" idea ever again, realizing this means your current users are left with a now-defunct app, unless you figure out someway to get a hold of them and explain to them how to migrate to the new version. Best of luck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
