An app author is free to skip the field entirely (it is optional), or

And * is the default?
Yes!
We should make sure the docs make it clear that this field is optional,
and meaningful only for paid apps.
We should document it, though I don't agree that it is meaningful only
for paid apps. If the author of a free app wishes to list it only on
specific stores, that's their decision to make.
Why? I think I disagree with this decision. What is different between
listing an app on a store and linking to a website? Unless you have to
pay for the app, they are fundamentally the same action. Presumably
google search can be used for apps, no?
Even search engines respect robots.txt. Websites already have the power
to not be "listed" in Google. Stores should be no different.
The default is open of course, but the main point is that the final
decision lies with the author.
