Thanks for the clarification. I do wish the licensing/in-app-payments data could be accessed in a more standardized way to make all this easier.
What I would like to be able to do is query some API to find out all the purchases (whether for apps or in-app-payments) for any of my products. I can understand why you don't want an app querying for other apps from other publishers, but what about for other apps from the same publisher? This would also be a simple way to share in-app purchases across all of my apps (something I see which is not allowed in the new in-app system). One application of this might be a "donate" in-app purchase which could, say, remove ads (whoops!) from all apps from the developer. It would also be a simpler way to facilitate migration from the cumbersome Lite/Pro model to in-app unlocking (which feels neater, though is not perfect as mentioned earlier).
