Google Play Store New Policy: No tricky In-App Purchases, No More Porn Material

In-App purchases is getting ridiculously annoying, Have you ever used a free application in Android, and then found yourself clicking on an ad in the app, even though you could have sworn you never touched the pop-up ad ?

Well that's because there are some applications that give you the illusion of choice when it comes to not selecting an ad, they register any press on the screen as an ad-click.

Google decided to take action against that and other tricky in-app add practices which considered fraud and spam in Google policies. Google has laid out some new rules for Google Play applications that specifically call out this kind of application behavior. They are also laying the smack down on "promotion or install tactics" by halting undesired downloads, redirects to the Google Play store, and unsolicited SMS advertisements.

Also banned from the Play store under the new guidelines are advertisements that use "erotic content" to promote porn, Also Google stated "Apps that contain or promote pornography are prohibited". Google has also called for more clearly defined behaviors as to when and how developers use their in-app purchases.
