II've started to develop games for the giggle play store, and I'm a bit confused in the developer console. It requires you tocreate 5 achievements. Why is it that Google requires this? I can understand there use as maybe a way to track progress, but what if I don't want them in my application. I don't want to troll people if they check up on achievements and see that they never get one nor ever will. I just want to be able to not have them. Maybe just award all 5 when the first log in to Google? I don't want to have to deal with them. Is there a specific reason Google requires these?
Ok so I've found what I believe to be the answer. It says in that same line If you are between 13-17 it is for the SOLE purpose of google play purchasing. So google wallet cannot be used for earning money if you are below the age of 18. So if you want to make any money off of ads or purchasing of any sort you must either be above 18 or put the app up through somebody who is at least 18 or above.

Is it ok to publish two versions of the same app (a free version with ads and a paid version with no ads) on Amazon App Store? if so, is it ok to use the word "premium" in the app's title?
I didn't anything yet, but we both know that Amazon doesn't usually gives second chances, so I only have on chance, and I can't lose it and get my account suspended.

My Google Play Console says that my app has been published. I found it out on yesterday. But I cannot find my app anywhere on Google play store. This is the screenshot.
And the screenshot of App Releases:
Now when I click on the VIEW ON GOOGLE PLAY button I get this error message:
Please help.
It takes usually 24 hours or sometimes 2 days to display in play store.
Currently app is in review process.
You need to wait several hours to see your app available on the store after publication.
It takes some times to be in play store search.

I have a free app in Google store with ads.
I have received requests from users for a paid, ad-free version.
When I first uploaded the app to Google Play Store, it stated that if the app was free now it could never be changed.
My question is: Is it possible to have a paid and unpaid version of the same app on Google Play Store?
Change the package name and name of your app in AndroidManifest. Then it will be treated as another app.
You can offer some in-app purchases, like activation key to unlock additional features or access additional content. You do not need to replace all classes to have two versions, it may be enough to flip some boolean inside depending on how do you currently want it to be.

I know you can tell on the apple developer console and on the google play developer console how many people have downloaded your app, but is there any way to tell how many people currently have it installed on their phone? I looked at the documentation for apples push notifications but there is no response that tells you that it was uninstalled.
For iOS applications there isn't any way to find out. If you use something like flurry you can tell how many active users you have within suitable definitions of "active" But even then you can't distinguish between "inactive" and "deleted" It's not really clear that there's any practical difference in the two anyway.

I'm developing an Android app and publishing it in Google Market. The problem is that the difference between v1.x and v2.x is huge, and like most products I wouldn't like to automatically provide Major upgrade for free for user of v1.
Is there any way to "separate" the payment for v1 and v2, and provide "upgrade license" for users of v1?
I must say admins on this forum are idiots, closed for a reason: "Questions on Stack Overflow are expected to generally relate to programming or software development in some way". How is it not related to software development? :)
Upgrades nope; kind of irritating that the market has no option for coupon codes or developer discounts etc. but that's the way it currently is.
Kind of a hack, but you could leave the name the same and add Pro or Plus and change your package name so for instance
com.myapplication.v1
becomes
com.myapplication.v2
Then to promote it you can use admobs inhouse promotion facility (assuming you have put admob v1) it's not perfect but it would work, then just turn on the add when you are ready with a new version.
An alternative is to structure the newer application so that the new features are in app payments, that would probably be the most user friendly approach, let them use them for N days then shut them down and offer the users the ability to pay for the newer features
I have also not looked at their licensing service much, it might be possible to do something with that I suppose but I suspect not.
