This seems kind of out of left field. Indie devs won't like purchasing a PO Box assuming Google allows them. Posting your address to users seems like a great way to get swatted in this day in age. Oh I'm angry at this flappy bird clone developer? Lets send swat, pizzas, etc their way.
- Someone1234 12y agoThis seemed bad when I initially read it, but now that you raise the "4chan problem" this goes from bad to really really bad. People will absolutely get "joked" via this at some stage. The thing I really liked about Android is that for a one time $35 fee (plus a domain) you could make an app, and even charge money for that app. That's a very low barrier to entry (which is good/bad depending on who you ask). Now with this requirement (and the risks associated) I need to pay for a PO Box or rent another business address. PO Boxes seem to start at around $10/month for the smallest one (via the US PO). $120/year + $35 + domain/hosting is a huge jump (more than double) the cost to develop on Android. Apple "only" charge $99/year, however you do also need a Mac.
- reustle 12y agoCould you use the same PO box for multiple apps?
