Hope can I download these please? Is there a way around not being in the US?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Don't think so.. i want swiftkey x for free though.. damn US -.-
Hope that it'll come to Germany soon aswell... Anyway it's not that costumer friendly policy Amazon should go towards...
I think it's similar to the AmAzon mp3 service, they allow free storage of music on the cloud over there, but here in the uk, you don't get that priillage and although you may be able to manually install the amazon app store, it's impossible to install apps due to the country limitations coming from your amazon account believe, as I have tried myself and it won't work, maybe searching google for the app's .apk file name may get what you want by other means.
For now the store is only open in US..
As far as I understand they have plans to open the store in other countries too..
We just have to wait
I believe there is a workaround for this, unfortunately the forum where I read about it is currently down. I'll look into it.
I remember trying to get Angry Birds Rio when the appstore had judt opened. I was so sad when I realised it was US only. It then came out on Android marketplace and then I was filled with joy!
I was trying to purchase game. Cytus to be exact. It's a cool music game and I wanted the full version for lyk $2. Now here's my problem. I have to use my debit/credit card to purchase it. My Google Play Credit has been declined. Or at least that's what it says when I try to purchase the game. It's just this game I'm seeing it with too.
I'm guessing the developer has blocked that payment method. If this is true, then what's the point of Google Play Cards if developers can block that form of payment?
Granted, I'll buy the game later this week. It's just it was bill paying week for me last week, so this college kid don't have an extra $2. That's lunch money. LoL!!
But that's all. I want to know why a developer would block Google Credit as a form of payment... Should I upload a picture?
Here's an image of my Google Credit being declined. If this is possible, then this will render Google Play Cards useless.
Thing's I've checked:
1) Made sure it was under my primary email address since I have multiple email addresses
2)Checked to see if it was the credit itself, but I can use my Google Credit to purchase other apps.
Bump. I am running into the exact same issue. I can't figure out for the life of me why it has crapped out.
The OP already stated why it was happening. Developers on the Play Store have the option to decline certain types of payments - one of which is the Google Credits. I guess there must be a reason for it - maybe a Google Credit isn't actually worth a full Dollar to the developer due to transaction fees or something?

At no point did the OP definitively state why it was happening. He/she merely guessed at why it is happening. I'm trying to find if there's an actual reason so we can see if it can be solved or not.
Anyways, a guy on reddit was talking about his app and I was trying to buy it. Ran into the same error message. I asked him if he knew why it was happening and this is his response:
"Thanks for the feedback, as far as I read it's because Google just support multiple currencies for developers based in some countries, it doesn't support for my country yet, that makes impossible to people pay with carriers and with gift cards ... Hope they fix it soon !"
So maybe this only happens when the app's dev team is based out of certain countries that Google hasn't established all of its services/support yet. I looked the dev up on Facebook and he's in Barcelona, Spain, FWIW. It's still a guess but hey at least we have some more info.
Hi, I need to know if there are any apps that can transfer money from Google play to PayPal using inapp purchases, either downloadable via the Play Store or Off-site. I want to buy a few things that require PayPal, but have no way to add money into PayPal . I also do not own a credit card and am not planning on getting one at all. Please help. :good:
Hi there,
Digging up this old post.
I have a similar problem with Google Play credits.
I have credits from the Google opinion rewards app. Also my phone carrier supports carrier billing and I have a reasonable amount of unused credits there usually. The problem is all these credits are bounded as AUD (Australian dollars). There are a couple of apps and games that supports IAP but they only accept USD or JPY. When you try to pay using the carrier billing option, you will get a message "Purchase currency is not supported". I went as far as asking my carrier and they say it's not something that can support "in the near future".
There was also a closed thread about similar request: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103287
Someone could possibly write an app that supports IAP, and then transfer that amount to anywhere in other means (e.g. PayPal). Of course you will lose part of the credits since Google charges 30% for IAP, and also PayPal has a fee (I can't remember exactly what and how much), but still better than nothing (depending on how desperate you are I guess).
Then of course there's also the problem of trust here, and how to do this securely.
Any thoughts anyone?
There's an app that I use called Payback. Gives you a 50% return on your money and is transferred to you via PayPal. Never has a problem with this app and definitely safe to use. Link: https:// play. google .com/store /apps /details ?id=com.nikkell. payback (take out spaces)

I'm also needing this. It's ridiculous that google pays us in a currency we can only use in their store and cannot get cashed out.
Should be laws against this kind of bull****.
I don't have a credit or debit card. I just redeemed my google play card on google play though. I need to transfer THAT to Paypal.

Read the comment above. According to Google's rules, you cannot withdraw money.
Are there any apps now in 2021 that allow you to spend your google play balance on an amazon gift card or something? I've got a couple hundred dollar play balance that I'm not going to spend, even if I had to take a 50% hit, it'd be worth it.

Yup, there is an app called CashOut that I have used a few times. They are giving 60% conversion from google play to PayPal. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cashapp.cashout
I have an iPhone. So my google opinion rewards is linked with my PayPal acct. I don’t get surveys nearly as often as do my friends with their android phones. However, mine goes straight to my PayPal acct as soon as I hit $2.00. Every time.
Hello,
I'm new into app development.I have a few apps and i get around 100 downloads on all my apps daily ,and yesterday i received an email from a company that does ASO ,and a few more things a forgot what they said.
I also had a Skype call with them ,they are offering me to promote my app ,to translate it to more languages etc..
They claim that my downloads will raise ,and that my revenue will be bigger.
I don't know 100$ is kind of lot's of money to pay, also they told me that they have a money back guaranty.But I don't know what to think to be honest.Should i go for it?
Seems a bit fishy...
How can you be sure you would be able to get any money back if you aren't satisfied?

Just tried to get installs for my app. Spent $10 to advertise my app using cpidroid.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alsudfa.farmdefenderfree
Looks like I got 50+ downloads because of it. Results are delayed due to Google console. I uploaded my app to amazon as well as a place called app mania. I've gotten 200+ downloads just by using keywords in my app name.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.infoscript.whenpigsfly
example of that. I spent $10 and I haven't received a review or rating. Ad mob earnings resulted in $0.32. I don't think the campaign is over yet, but it's looking like it. I hear 90% of your earnings will come from your top 10% of users. I don't think purchasing installs is the way to go.
I am hoping to learn of ways to get installs.

Important tax changes for Google Play purchases in India
Hello Google Play Developer,
Beginning July 1, 2017, due to new laws in India, Google Play will apply a Goods & Services tax (GST) to paid apps and in-app purchases made by customers in India. The tax amount will be collected and passed on to you for you to remit.
Action required: To comply with the GST law, you need to update your Settings page in the Google payments center with your Goods & Services Tax identification number (GSTIN) and other relevant information. You therefore declare that the details provided are correct, and the address and GSTIN provided are in the location where the services would be received. Additionally, you agree to reimburse Google for any GST liability (including interest and penalty) in case of any misdeclaration.
Pricing in India will be GST-inclusive. In countries with GST-inclusive pricing, prices shown on Google Play must be equal to the amount paid during payment - all taxes (including GST) must be included in the price. If you have apps targeted to India, you can sign in to your Google Play Console to review your prices for paid apps and in-app purchases in India.
To learn more, visit the Google Play Console Help Center. If you have any other questions, please consult your tax advisor. You can also reach out to [email protected].
Thanks for your continued support of Google Play,
The Google Play Team

Hey I am also an app developer about to release my app on Google Play & now stuck with this.
Please share, if you have any more leads on this.
Thanks
Well this is a serious issue now. I also received the same mail from Google.
I emailed Google at ([email protected]) and asked for clarification on this, but did not got the reply.
I researched a bit on GST and here are my findings:
-> If you have a business, having annual revenue of 20 Lakh per annum or above, then you need to be registered under GST.
-> Every form of online business needs to be registered under GST, irrespective of the amount of revenues generated.
The second point is worth noting. The confusion here is that whether selling apps & games on Google Play comes under "online business".
Also check out the Google Play support article https://support.google.com/payments/merchant/answer/7421525
In that article, it says
GST must be paid on Google Play Store apps and games sold to customers in India.
App or game developers based in India must pay GST
Google collects and pays GST on sales of apps and games by developers located outside India

So as far as i understand this, we are required to get GST number. But wont need to pay GST tax because most developers in India does not make more than 20 Lakhs annually.
Anybody reading this please contribute your findings.

I am giving links https://www.hubco.in/articles/how-g...-india-impact-of-gst-registration-on-blogging , https://blog.cleartax.in/gst-bloggers-register, which say that blogging will be considered a service & income generated through Google ads etc. will come under GST. And exemption limit of Rs. 20 lakh is not applicable for blogging services.
It certainly looks now that paid apps will come under GST as well, without Rs. 20 lakhs exemption limit.
What worries me even more is, from what I have understood is a service provider providing services outside his state will have to file seperate GST returns for each state on 10th, 15th & 20th of every month. If this is true, then we have dark times ahead for paid apps with potential users from different states in India.

Wow sounds like a lot of what is going on everywhere. There are discussions right now in the states about making people need business license and pat business taxes for apps they put in the Play store.

Yes, you are correct. I did not go through this properly.
I now wonder if GST authorities are themselves clear on how to approach this scenario
I received response for a query raised to Google & Google itself has no idea whether GSTIN is required or not :
"It is also important to know that due to recent changes in the GST law in India, if you are a developer in India, you will need to determine if you need to charge tax on sales to buyers in India or not.
In this regard, we highly recommend for you to reach out to a qualified tax specialist to determine if you are legally required to obtain GSTIN or not. Hence, if you are required to obtain GSTIN, you must input your GSTIN in your merchant account so that Google can collect taxes for you, and then, we will remit the collected taxes back to you so that you can submit it to the tax authority.
On the other hand, if you do not have a GSTIN number, you would qualify as an unregistered person. If you are not qualified to obtain GSTIN, Google would not be responsible for levy and/or collection of GST on your behalf, as per the GST Law. This means that you won't be collecting taxes from Indian customers. "

What a drag :/
The gst registration requires us to provide a pan id for business, which as an individual app developer, I don't have!
This makes it difficult even if we want to register. I don't think it is currently possible unless we have a registered company under which we sell apps.
Do any of you people have a registered business for publishing your apps?

Ya its crazy that their asking for PAN number of the business. How will individual developers have a registered company???
https://plus.google.com/+DickenChristianMe/posts/239Yrq7ZN8m
There's a discussion here if you're interested...
i just want to let you know guys if you are already registered as developer before GST you are good to go,there is no need to add GSTIN number and money will come to your bank wire transfer
GST and pan is mandatory now for new registrations
GSTIN number is optional
Indian government mandates all online businesses irrespective of their net income (Rs.20 lakhs threshold doesn't suit for us). If you are selling apps through Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you need to register for GST. Once you are registered for GST, you should start collecting the tax from your customers and pay it to government. For Google Play and Apple App Store apps, we should show the price which is inclusive of the GST and then pay the GST to government. NO EXCEPTION WHATSO EVER!
Regarding the ads revenue from Google AdMob, We aren't liable to pay GST on the revenue. Since our contracting entity is Google Ireland for AdMob, the revenue is considered as export. We are doing business with just AdMob, not to its advertisers. Since we shouldn't bother about the ads that are shown in India by AdMob advertisers. GST is applicable only to the sales occurs inside India. GST is not applicable to the sales outside of India. Since we are selling the ad-spaces to Google Ireland (AdMob) which is not located in India, the revenue from AdMob is not taxable under GST even if it is more than Rs.20 lakhs.
Did any app developer register for GSTIN? If yes, what to fill in "PAN number for Business"? No leads whatsoever
