Good Morning Guys,
I am sure you may be hearing this news since early morning. Yes this time its Officially announced so lets consider its as FINAL 🙂 #Kidding
I can see alerts in developer console:
Anyway, Google has announced this at Android developer blog yesterday (18-oct-2012).
Starting today, developers in India can sell paid applications, in-app products, and subscriptions in Google Play, with monthly payouts to their local bank accounts. They can take advantage of all of the tools offered by Google Play to monetize their products in the best way for their businesses, and they can target their products to the paid ecosystem of hundreds of millions of users in India and across the world.
.
Along with this announcement, they have also declared some great figures regarding Indian android app devices/users and developers:
- Over the past year, Android device activations in India have jumped more than 400%.
- In the last six months, Android users in India downloaded more apps than in the previous three years combined.
- India has rocketed to become the fourth-largest market worldwide for app downloads.
Two more points i would like to highlight here:
When you’ve prepared your apps and in-app products, you can price them in any available currencies, publish, and then receive payouts and financial data in your local currency. Visit the developer help center for complete details.
Along with seller support, we’re also adding buyer’s currency support for India. We encourage developers everywhere to visit your Developer Console as soon as possible to set prices for your products in Indian Rupees and other new currencies (such as Russian Rubles).
