In an effort to further improve security, Google will make some significant changes to its operations. According to reports, Google is imposing some restrictions on developers to protect user privacy information. Google will list the complete information about the program as "user privacy". Starting this year, accessing Query_All_Packages will require special permission from Google. After Google checks, if the need for the action is valid, it can proceed. However, Google only grants access when the permission relates to the app's core functionality.
According to Google, this is what “Core Features” are:
Permitted uses include applications that must be found on the device for any and all installed applications, as awareness or compatibility purposes may qualify for permissions. In addition, permitted uses include device finder, antivirus, file manager, and browser.
According to reports, Google will fully implement the new law later this year. Also, illegal Android apps or apps that don't have a declaration will be removed from Google Play.
Google Play Store: Dollar-to-dollar pricing model for Android app now supports more markets
Google says it will also provide Android developers with the widest app and game marketplace. Additionally, the company says its initial target is 20 markets. In these markets, the company also hopes to lower the minimum prices that developers can set for their products. However, minimum product price reductions are now in effect in these 20 markets. Regions include Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific.
Minimum price limits for goods in more than 20 markets
After the new minimum price starts to work fully, developers can set the price of the product at the level of 10-30 cents. These ultra-low prices (or “under one dollar” prices) allow prices to be adjusted to better reflect local purchasing power and demand. This will obviously attract new potential payers. You can also shape global pricing strategies more flexibly so that more users can buy and enjoy your apps and games.
