Play Age Signals - defold asset

Hi!

is anyone looking to implement this

as defold asset?

all the apps i have.
they dont have in app purchases
i use only google sign in in some apps via gpgs,
i dont allow account creation
i don’t have any 18+ explicit content
and the age brackets i declared are all above 13

my understanding is that the BIG issue is with in app purchases that need to be blocked in some scenarios.
so technically i am in a fairly safe spot, but i think i will still implement this and my understand is that i simply need to say “do nothing” and just handle some of the out of data playstore/services scenario with maybe a popup.

is there already someone working on this defold asset? seems important enough that would be nice having defold put this on the TODO list similarly to admob.

These regulations are becoming very silly. It seems to be easier to create a bank than publishing app on these stores nowadays. Nobody protected us from any content as kids and for the most part I think we turned out to be fine and we just had no money to spend or credit cards. :see_no_evil_monkey:

I will not bother implementing this in my old game. Let’s see if it will survive. It has in-app purchases that nobody purchases and the above 13 magic checkbox checked. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Haha, having kids now, I can observe the numerical world is WILDIER than ever, compared to say 1995 :sweat_smile:
We didnt have internet, let alone playing on the web when I was kid. So I think this is good to check age nowadays. But yeah we survived

i think i am close-ish to have something working or at least testable.

i have not even created a proper release yet so you will have to point against my main branch.

i think i will test it in the coming weeks on bluestack, and attempt a proper integration with some low-stakes apps i keep for these purposes :smiley:

if you do test feel free to write on this thread and/or create an issue on github!
