Google officially add Australia to Paid Apps Development list, finally an incentive for Aussie Devs

Posted by Buzz Moody on October 1st, 2010 8:40 AM | 14 Comments

Last time it was a hoax by Google accidentally adding Australia instead of Austria, but today they have officially announced via the Android Developers Blog that 20 more countries can now submit paid applications, one of those countries being us! So if you’re an Aussie Dev with a great app, tell us about it in the comments, we love to support local developers!

For the full list of supported countries see: http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=150324

Finally! It took way to long to happen, but I’m glad none the less. This will see a lot more Aussie oriented apps in the market. Aussie developers can now actually take Android seriously as a development platform. It will also inspire continued improvement of existing Aussie apps. Good for consumers, good for Android!

Oh, and that should mean that Aussie developers can buy the Nexus One through Google (and actually get it delivered to Australia).

~~Can we get someone to try this~~

The Nexus One is available for sale in the US to registered developers.

Yeah the site still says: “The Nexus One is carrier independent, and available for purchase in the approved markets (Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States) by any developer registered with Android Market™.”

Hi,

We have recently registered a Merchant account in google checkout, and have uploaded a paid app to it. We have received orders and could see the payout summary in the Payouts tab.

However, under the Settings -> Financials -> Bank information. The “Set up account” button is always disabled. Here is the message displayed:
“You cannot be paid out until your bank account settings have been provided to Checkout. However, the bank account page is currently unavailable. You can still process transactions using Google Checkout. Please revisit this page in the future to provide bank account information.”

It’s been like this for more than 3 weeks, and would could not received any payouts so far.

Is this normal that AU developer can upload thier paid apps to the market, but couldn’t receive any payouts at this moment?

Did i miss anything?

Please help.
