Hello, I am android developer.
When I want to post an application to Google Play I need to agree to this:
"I acknowledge that my software application may be subject to United States export laws, regardless of my location or nationality. I agree that I have complied with all such laws, including any requirements for software with encryption functions. I hereby certify that my application is authorized for export from the United States under these laws."
My question is can I safely agree to this? My application doesn't use any encryption made by myself but uses in-app purchases which are provided by Google as a framework and probably use some kind of encryption. I read that if you want to use encryption you have to file in some kind of reqest to government but that was regarding the use https or ssl. Do I have to ask goverment for permission?
Additionally is there any other reason why my application could not comply with export laws?
Google provided some links but they are difficult to understand for me. Here: Encryption
(By the way, I already contacted Google but they said that they cannot give me legal advice.)
Thanks!
