I am working on to create a Xamarin Forms app (For Android and iOS both) which will have payment gateway to accept payments from customers. Currently I am using WebView in my app to open the payment page URL. So, my question is that will my app be rejected on Play Store or Apple Store because it is based on WebView? If yes, then is there any alternative to WebView?
It will depend on Apple's review process. If the whole app is just a WebView pointing to a website, then it is likely to be rejected. If the app has other features and functionality of its own, especially utilizing native device functionality, then it will have a better chance of being accepted in the stores.
See App Store Review Guidelines Section 4.2.
I have a paid app and I would like to give some users free access.
I have no in-app purchases and the Features tab in App Store Connect says "Promo Codes can only be generated for approved versions".
How do I generate a promo code?
Provided you have a released version of your app it should be listed in the Features tab, the message you are seeing suggests your app is not yet approved and available for purchase. Just wait until it is. HTH
Edit: The link in your question did not work for me so I assumed the app was not approved. However I just found it by searching the App Store. It has only just been released, the Features tab is probably lagging a bit, as before just wait a while and it should appear.
We are looking into the opportunities of apps within Microsoft Teams. We are using Microsoft Teams extensively and believe it can be the application to use as a single entry point to all relevant information. For example, we want to show the internal company news within Teams.
We are currently envisioning what the preferred way for us would be, based on O365. There are however a number of challenges we currently face with Microsoft Teams and wonder if there is a solution for these or if there are items on the roadmap that can help in this scenario:
Show the app on the left menu bar
Currently personal apps can be added on the left navigation bar. We
would like to add a button which is not hidden behind the ellipsis
but right on the menu bar itself. If possible even change the order.
Will this be a possibility or will the apps remain behind the
ellipses?
Deploy the app within the company only We would like to create company specific apps which work with company data.
We can create apps like this, but from a deployment view, we can only use side loading or the online store. For company specific apps this will not be a valid option (5000+ users). Will this become available?
Automatically deploy the “personal app” for all users
When deploying an app to the left bar, it is considered a personal app. Will it be possible to provision this app for all users within the company?
All three of these are on the roadmap, with item 2 (duplicate post) being the first one likely to appear in the first quarter of calendar 2018.
On this bug report on Github https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-billing/issues/2#issuecomment-305380836 we were asked to raise the issue here.
The issue is simple. The user has 2 or more accounts on their phone, let's say xyz#gmail.com and abc#gmail.com. They install an app with the account xyz#gmail.com. They purchase some IAP items. The app updates and now the app is under abc#gmail.com and the user has lost the purchase. This happens a lot when using staged rollouts.
The main issue, as developers we aren't allowed to let the user choose which account to buy with or which account to check for purchases with.
The second issue, the Play Store app on Android ignores the user account selected on the hamburger menu. The only workaround for this is to use the Play Store website as described in this workaround https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-billing/issues/2#issuecomment-259108286 on the same bug report.
I don't know what the ideal solution is, all I know is that this is a huge hassle for developers leading to a lot of 1-star reviews after each update.
EDIT: As pointed out in a comment, when I refer to multiple accounts I am talking about multiple Google accounts for a single Android User, I am not talking about multiple Android users within the same phone.
I'm trying to publish an app that is based on a free app that supports in-app billing and which is already published. Rather than use in-app billing in the new app, I decided to remove it and make it a paid app (the difference between the two apps is that the paid app has some enhancements that I want to get paid for).
So I created a new product in Google Play, different package name, etc. Everything went fine until I selected Pricing & Distribution, set the pricing ($0.99) and the distribution. When I tried to publish, I get the Android mascot with the text "Loading" alongside it and it stays like this. The app never appears in searches, even when it's enclosed in quotes. The original app does come up, but not the new one (the difference between the names is that the new one has the word "Pro" after it). And yes, the package names are different.
One more thing: when I uploaded the APK to the store, I got a warning about the app using in-app billing (which it does not) but there is no billing permission in the manifest. Since it was a warning and I don't do in-app billing, I ignored it and continued with the upload. I don't think this has anything to do with the "Loading" problem because it was happening before I removed in-app billing.
Any idea what's wrong?
Eventually, the problem somehow resolved itself. The app is visible in searches, although the "Loading" message in Pricing and Distribution is still stuck. Very weird.
