A partir del 27 de junio, Google dejará de pagar a los desarrolladores de aplicaciones para Android que vivan en Argentina cuando alguien compre una de sus aplicaciones de pago, o cuando realicen una compra in-app. Esto se confirma en una carta escrita por Google a los desarrolladores. Los pagos se detendrán después de comprobaciones finales el 22 de julio.
El motivo de esta acción por parte de la compañía del mayor buscador de Internet podría tener que ver con los problemas en el intercambio de divisas del país latinoamericano. Mientras tanto, los usuarios de Android argentinos aún podrán comprar aplicaciones en la Play Store y los desarrolladores aún podrán publicar aplicaciones gratuitas.
No obstante, Google sugiere una alternativa a los desarrolladores argentinos, y es que los que quieran seguir cobrando deberán mover su cuenta a otro país donde puedan hacer legalmente estos negocios.
Aquí está la carta:
«We are writing to you today to inform you that Google Play will no longer be able to accept payments on behalf of developers registered in Argentina starting June 27, 2013. Developers based in Argentina may continue to offer free applications in the Google Play store. All applications requiring the billing permission as well as in-app products will be unpublished from the Google Play store on June 27, 2013. A payout for your earnings through this time will be made on July 22, 2013. If your accumulated earnings at that time do not meet the payout threshold, you may close your linked AdSense account to receive a final payment.
If you are legally able to do business in one of the other supported countries and otherwise satisfy the Google Wallet Terms of Service for that country, you may register for a Google Wallet Merchant Center account in that country and transfer your applications to it. To review the Google Wallet Merchant Center account Terms of Service, go to this link:

You would need new Google Play Developer account to tie to your new Merchant account. To learn more about creating new Google Play Developer account and transferring your applications, please visit our Help Center at https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/139626
If you have any questions, please contact Google Checkout Merchant team at https://support.google.com/payments/?hl=en#topic=3091397&ts=3126357&contact=1
We hope to restore payouts to developers based in Argentina in the future. While no specific plans are in place at the moment, we are looking forward to restoring this service, and we will make sure to notify you once payouts to developers based in Argentina are restored.
Regards,
The Google Play Team»
