[SOLVED]How not to include in-app purchases in Android applications

Hello.
I am working on a game with Ren'Py version 7.4.11.2266.
I'm thinking of releasing an Android app on Google Play that doesn't use app billing.
When I try to release an aab file built with Ren'Py,
the Google Play Console says "you need to add physical address in account details" and the app page says "in-app purchases".
I have checked
the page in question, but it seems to be different from my current environment.
Is there a solution?

Most likely you have set your app to include in app purchases within the Google play console.
There are a lot of options and things to do in there, maybe you did it by accident?

Thanks for the replies!
Well...as it turns out, I was successful in removing the in-app purchase description.
But I did it the bad way and I don't think this is the best solution.
Let me start by telling you what's going on with my Google Play console!
・The app is not priced. The app is set free.
・not created in-app items.
・Subscription purchases are not created.
・Content rating: can users purchase digital goods through the game? I answered no.
So I assumed the cause was "com.android.vending.BILLING" and deleted everything with the name BILLING in rapt.
I know it's a barbaric way...
In this way, the permission of "com.android.vending.BILLING" disappeared.
And the in-app purchase indicator disappeared from the app page.
Did I do something wrong or is it the default that "com.android.vending.BILLING" was installed? Hmmm.

I just landed a fix for this in Ren'Py 7.5/8.0.

Thank you!!!!
But for some reason <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" /> still exists.
store in my .android.json is none. Hmmm?

Can you post the entire .android.json ?

Here it is!
Code: Select all
{"layout": null, "orientation": "sensorLandscape", "package": "jp.ty.hamina1031", "include_pil": false, "expansion": false, "name": "Hamizuki", "update_always": true, "source": false, "icon_name": "Hamizuki", "version": "1.3341", "heap_size": "3", "update_icons": true, "permissions": ["INTERNET"], "numeric_version": "101", "include_sqlite": false, "store": "none"}

Which files are you seeing com.android.BILLING in?

First, app-AndroidManifest.xml in the templates folder in the rapt folder.(This is the state that changed this time)
Next,
"renpy-7.3.5-sdk\rapt\project\app\build\intermediates\instant_app_manifest\release"
"renpy-7.3.5-sdk\rapt\project\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifests\release"
"renpy-7.3.5-sdk\rapt\project\app\build\intermediates\bundle_manifest\release\bundle-manifest"
was in AndroidManifest.xml.

By deleting "implementation 'com.android.billingclient:billing:3.0.0" at line 36 of the file "renpyandroid/build.gradle",
"com.android.vending.BILLING" is deleted.
I am reporting this because I didn't mention it here and I also forgot about it.
