I have just published an app in android market that uses in-app billing. My app can function just good without payment. In other words purchasing in-app products is optional. But I was told that people in countries that has no support of paid apps can't see my app. The app itself is free and I chose it to be available to all countries worldwide while publishing. Does anyone have a trick to make it visible in all countries?
Thanks in advance.
Have you select all countries while uploading or publishing the application on android market. if you select the all country then it will show in every country. tell me your application name i will check in my country it is available or not.

I am publishing an app on google play store that all purchases are done in the app and you don't have to pay to doanload the app(In app purchases?). Which category should I select? Paid or Free.
I have tried paid but google is asking me for the price of my app.
You can publish your application for free. You can add in-app purchases.
Best practices:
Make your app available as a free download with limited features or
full features for a limited time. Then use an in-app purchase to
unlock the full, unlimited app.
Offer additional features or content items through in-app purchases,
such as new levels, special playing pieces, or other features in
games.
Use subscriptions where your app provides regularly updated or
time-based content.

I'm trying to implement in-app billing in my android app and had a few questions:
Where can I see a list of countries which allow in-app billing in android apps?
Can I upload different APKs for different countries, so only countries which allow in-app billing get the game with in-app billing built-in?
The list of all countries that allow in-app billing is here:

Different APKs for the same app can be uploaded for different countries, but the package name must change for each one. The developer then needs to limit distribution by country for the non-in-app-enabled APK.
I have developed one application and i am going to publish it in the Android Market. But I need to specify, that some particular countries can only download my application. How can I do this..? Helping minds are appreciated. Please respond to this question as soon as possible.
When submitting your app in the Google Play Store you can select which countries the app is available. Under publishing options, pricing, then tick boxes for countries
Yes Google has provided this option to select the countries in which your app can be purchased or downloaded. Here is a screenshot of it. You can select the countries easily by just enabling them. And this can be done during uploading your app to Android Market, that is Google Play.
I am working on an application, which is intended to be free for the users in the Android Market. But, in the application, there is some section, which is a paid section and that payments would be through a Payment Processor, in my case through Pay Pal.
I have gone through Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement.
especially section 3.3, to extent I have understood it, it seems that you are violating the agreement if you include in-app purchase in a free app. But I am confused, whether I should include in-app purchase section in the app or should my app be a paid app. Suggestions and Explanations are always welcomed.
In-app purchase is permitted and encouraged in free apps, as long as you use whatever Google gives you. You're not allowed to use third-party payment options in apps published on the Android Market though, and by doing that you are risking exclusion from the Android Market.
It is okay to have In-App Purchase in a "free" app, in Android Market (now Google Play Store). It is okay to have PayPal IAP, in an app that is not distributed through the Google Play Store. It is not okay to have PayPal IAP (or any other non-Google IAP) in any app, paid or free, that is distributed through the Google Play Store.
sorry, you cannot do that. if you want to get money for a free app, it has to be with a for-sale app of some kind, can't be done using PayPal.
I have some quetions:
Should I buy any license to distribute my applications?
Which profit from the sale of applications?
(sorry, I dont speak english very well :P )
If you want to publish your application to the Android Market, you have to get a developer subscription ($25). Once you have a developer subscription, you can publish free apps as much as you like; in order to sell apps, however, you have to be in one of the countries where you can be a Google Checkout Merchant. Google gets 30% of the revenue. Also, be aware that the paid apps will be available only in countries that are listed in the Paid App Availability list (scroll down).
You don't necessarily need the Android market. You can just distribute your *.apk file by yourself (for free or against payment). This is one of the big advantage compared to Apple and the IPhone ;)
The profit you can make with your application depends on the price of your application and the number of sales.
You do not need to buy any license to publish in the market. You should read through the series of documents on publishing apps in the developer guide, starting here.
You can either publish your app as a paid app, in which case you could earn money directly from sales, or you could publish as a free app. With free apps, you can use ads as a source of income. There are a few providers, i.e. admob.
