如何在Google Play上为我的应用关闭“提供应用内购买”功能

Question

I've just uploaded my first app to Google Play. Its free and I have no in-app purchases.

Even that I have no in-app purchases I can still see in Google Play that there is a sentence next to the google play icon that says "Offers in-app purchases". How do I cancel it? I've searched all over the google play developer console for a place to uncheck it but couldn't found one. Also in the In-app Products tab I have gray screen that says "Your app doesn't have any in-app products yet. " So can u help me please?

Thank u in advance

Answer 1

Just remove the in-app billing permission from your Android manifest and publish a new APK. It is this line in the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />

Answer 2

Adding on to @HansKratz answer. If you have any other dependencies that add the permission such as com.android.billingclient:billing you will either need to remove the dependency adding the permission or explicitly remove it from your final merged manifest by adding: <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" tools:node="remove" />

Answer 3

If you also want to get rid of the "Offers in-app purchases" on your Google Play app page, you need to set the status of your in-app products to inactive.

Go to your Google Play Developer Console -> Choose your app -> Click In-app Products -> Click on the in-app product and change it from active to inactive.

Note that you can't set subscriptions to inactive, once you activated them.

I had the same issue recently so I'm just posting here in case someone else might still need help. After removing any reference to Billing in my code and removing the In-App Purchase products from Google Play Console I had to pass again the Content Rating Questionnaire to make the message disappear.
