When a developer publishes an app on the Play Store (which has also very recently switched to Material Design), he or she accepts the terms set by Google through the contract for distribution. Behind this name hides a document containing all rights, as well as duties that any developer must respect. This agreement develops from revisions and is sometimes about completely revised clauses.
In its latest update, the contract changes many aspects and brings its fair share of new features. Probably most notable is the response time to help requests. Thus, when it comes to a paid app, its developer is no longer an obligation to respond to a buyer within three days and even 24 hours if Google sees this as an urgent issue.
In the event of a breach, Mountain View reserves the right to take action. In addition to the negative ratings given by users, Google may downgrade the bad student and even until you delete an app their developers don’t care enough about their users. Google is not kidding and is buying a whole arsenal to enrich its app catalog as it pulls up.
In addition to this very symbolic innovation, there is also the risk of being talked about in authoritative circles. As of January 1, 2015, Google will be responsible for “calculating, applying and passing VAT on all content purchases”. Clear, The European Union now requires Google to manage developer accounts. Therefore, the latter will have to indicate whether their application is subject to VAT, not forgetting, of course, the possible tax rate.
For other changes, we highly recommend reading the following: full contract On the Play Store website. This is intended to be complete, not too long and imprecise. Enough to answer all your questions about releasing an app on the Play Store.
