(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/1\/23006695\/audible-barnes-noble-in-app-purchases-google-android<\/a> Starting next week, users of Barnes & Noble\u2019s Android app will no longer be able to buy digital books in the app, and it seems to be due to a Google Play policy deadline that\u2019s been more than a year and a half in the works. And it\u2019s not just Barnes & Noble that\u2019s affected; you aren\u2019t able to buy Amazon\u2019s Audible titles with a debit or credit card in the latest version of its Android app, either.<\/p>\n The changes appear to stem from Google\u2019s insistence that apps use Google Play\u2019s billing systems. Developers have long criticized Apple and Google for requiring the use of their own billing systems, in large part because of the so-called \u201capp store tax\u201d on many transactions. <\/p>\n Google updated its policies in September 2020<\/a> to clarify which types of in-app transactions required the use of the Google Play billing system, but Barnes & Noble and Audible are only just now making changes \u2014 and at the last minute, too. Google originally gave a September 30th, 2021, deadline and then offered<\/a> a six-month extension to March 31st, 2022 \u2014 which, as I write this, was yesterday. Both Audible and Barnes & Noble pointed to Google\u2019s policies as the reason for the changes, with Audible even linking us to that September 2020 post. <\/p>\n Google spokesperson Dan Jackson also directed us to this page<\/a>, \u201cUnderstanding Google Play\u2019s Payments policy,\u201d in order to explain Audible and B&N\u2019s moves. It spells out that \u201capps using an alternative in-app billing system will need to remove it in order to comply with the Payments policy.\u201d <\/p>\n
