[android-developers] Asking for Donations
I've read part 3 of the marketplace agreement and I can't see an answer. If I released a game for free with 100 levels but had a link in the application to my website where people could donate if they liked the game, once they donated I provided them with a code to unlock more levels to the game. Would this scenario be allowed under the current marketplace guidelines? The only reason I'm wanting to do this is to allow the players to judge how much the extra levels are worth. I'd probably want to use Google Checkout for the donation is it supports it.

[android-developers] Re: How many projects are being canned because of Market TCs
We (59Pixels) are considering stopping android development in the near futures for about 10 reasons the main being 1. The 24hour return policy - http://tinyurl.com/atcou3 shows that people tend to play low cost games a few times before stopping, this is meaning that people will play the games a few times and will just get a refund 2. Users are marking our applications with a 1 star simply because we charge for a full version or because they are unable to download it from the market (not our fault) 3. Google has been silent on all issues regarding issues that have cropped up over the last few days 4. They refuse to let UK developers charge a USD price so we are having to charge our games for 0.59GBP which is putting people off. 5. and a few more.

There are about 10 different reasons all related to how Google has handled everything over the past year. From complete absence of communication, to the lack of RC33 on ADP1, and the terrible return/refund policy put us over the top. If we wanted to create a free trial period we would have! We just kicked out our second app half finished, put it on the market, and closed up our Android development. It is sad that Google could mess this up so badly, but then again, are we that surprised that a company which releases everything in Beta couldn't get this right? Well, let's hope Microsoft and Blackberry learn from Google's mistake because we have now moved our Android guys to these other devices. I hope we can come back to the platform, but as of now Google is just to immature to support it.

This is on my company's roadmap, so I'm curious how you came to the conclusion that this is not allowed. You'll just have to find a different payment processor to do your paid services, and it shouldn't be hard to find one that will do subscriptions.

[android-developers] Re: *** Why 1 G1 can see Paid Apps in the Android Market and Another Not? ***
Have you maybe set one up with an account which is linked to a google account outside the US/UK? If not a slow rollout is probably the best reason for them not showing up. Same thing happens with iGoogle and gMail updates. On Feb 20, 3:19 pm, Michael Martin mi...@mm-agency.com wrote: *** Can anyone at Google explain why some G1s can see paid apps while others can’t? I don’t believe this is a matter of an OTA updates but rather datacenter propagation thus it would depend on which Android Market datacenter the G1 is pinging. In my case I have 2 G1s (side by side) and 1 can see the paid apps while the other doesn’t….could only assume they are both pinging the same DC. (I have already tried the reboot theory to no avail) Any formal explanation for this???
