I want to use GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) in my app and I found that I need developer console.
I found this : https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/
On this site it says that I need to pay $25 to register but on Android Developers site I found another link https://console.developers.google.com/project?utm_referrer=http:%2F%2Fdeveloper.android.com%2Fgoogle%2Fgcm%2Fgs.html
Is this one free for GCM or I still need to pay $25 ?
Google Cloud Messaging for Android is free and unlimited. You just need to use your Google/gmail id to log in and see the list of APIs and details of each. You can also enable specific APIs from there.
See the following link ,
Google developer console
You will need to pay $25 when you want to sign up as a publisher. So when you yourself want to publish your apps to Google Play , then only you have to pay.

I am unable to access my Google Play Developer account since this morning. I had three apps which were running smoothly until today. But now, none of them are in Google Play listing. Can someone help me out on how to resolve this issue?
I tried contact Google but got no response. I also tried to submit an appeal but no response again. I would be very grateful to someone who's got an answer for my query. This is what my error message says
Google Developer accounts can only be reinstated if they were disabled by mistake. If your account was disabled due to a violation of Google's Terms of Service, it's no longer eligible to be reinstated by Google's support team.
When your developer account is terminated, you'll no longer be able to publish new applications. You shouldn't attempt to register for a new Google Play Developer Console account since Google can no longer accept applications from you. This means that any related accounts are also permanently suspended, and any new accounts that you try to open will be terminated without a refund of the developer registration fee.

I have published several Android applications for the Google Play Store through my Google account, but all under my company's developer name.
Now I want to publish an App under my name with the same user account, but this does not seem to be possible without changing the developer name for all previously published apps? Is it possible to publish Apps under more than one developer name with the same Google account?
The only solution I am seeing at the moment is generating another Google Account to use for my personal Apps, which seems quite silly, and I am hoping there is a better way.
If someone else is wondering I can indeed confirm that this does not seem possible (to have more than one developer name with the same account). If you are in my position you have two possibilities:
Make a new Google account and register as an Android developer then use that account for your new Apps.
Make a new Google account and transfer existing Apps to it via this link.

2. Can I first upload the app as free app and then turn this app as paid app ?
1.WHEN people buy the app from google play store how will I get paid for the app
Ans you have to link your merchant account with your developer console you can do this by
1) First, log into your Google Play Developer Console.
2) Click on the Financial reports tab in the left navigation bar.
3) From there, select Set up a merchant account now.
4) then follow the steps and then go to Account and click on add account then fill out the form and then follow what they say.
2.Can I first upload the app as free app and then turn this app as paid app
Ans No You can't it is asked before hands that your app is paid or free.
You will get paid via your bank account. You need to register a bank account with Google Play Mechanism. After that, you will receive a confirmation amount via email. Enter this amount to verify your Google account, then you can receive money via this bank account. You will receive it once a month. Also, you can check the payment history as well.
You can't. You need to identify it clearly before uploading it as you can't change in the future.

From what I have read on the developer page, Android In-app Billing doesn't support refund procedure. You have to use the Google Checkout account in order to issue a refund.
I follow these steps:
I create a product in the developer console, with a price of 0.50 euro.
I buy the item using the test account
2.1 I test my logic
I refund the money using Google Checkout
My question is: Is there any involved cost in doing this? Or, in the end, my developer account and my testing account will both have the initial amount of money?
This is well managed by google, your client account and your developper account will both have the initial amount of money yes.
see official doc Here.
it says it at the end in the "Things to remember" note ;)

We have an Androïd app on Google Play and I'd like to retrieve the sales report programmatically.
Apple provides the Autoingestion tool which allows a Java app to retrieve them, and there's even a Ruby port :
https://github.com/siuying/itunes-auto-ingestion
Does anybody know if there's something similar for Androïd or at least an API ?
I could not find it.
Many thanks in advance,
Geoffroy
Google Checkout (which is used by Play for billing) has an API, but you need a merchant key to use it, and it is not available in all countries.
https://developers.google.com/checkout/samplecode
As someone pointed out below, Google Checkout has been discontinued. The new Google Wallet site does not offer a real API, but you can download your reports, which are stored on Google Drive, using the Google Drive API or command line tools. Reports are in CSV format, so they are easy to parse.
Additionally, the Google Play Developer console now shows sales data. Checkout the Andlytics app, it can fetch and display sales numbers (available in the alpha version). It is also open source.

Google Checkout was discontinued on November 20, 2013. The company offered a new solution for certain payments called Google Wallet
I only have seen Apps that show a webview of the Developer Console. I noticed the URL to the statistic is always the same, year + month, so you could try and read this in. Sadly it only shows sales and not downloads.
https://play.google.com/apps/publish/salesreport/download?report_date=2012_05&report_type=sales_report&dev_acc=%%YOUR_ACC_NUMBER%%
But there seems to be some kind of api when you look at the ajax-requests in the developer console:
https://play.google.com/apps/publish/statistics?dev_acc=%%YOUR_ACC_NUMBER%%
POST: method -> "getCombinedStats"
