Financial features declaration completed for Google Play

Google Play requires every app targeting Android — including apps with zero financial features — to complete a Financial Features declaration in the Play Console before publication. Skipping this step blocks promotion to the production track entirely; it is not a soft warning. For apps with in-app purchases (React Native IAP, RevenueCat, Stripe), an incomplete declaration is treated as a policy violation under Google Play's Financial Services policy, which can result in app removal and developer account suspension. Developers who discover this requirement the night before a launch date lose 48–72 hours to Play Console processing time.

Complete the Google Play Financial Features declaration in Play Console under App content → Financial features before the first production submission. Document completion in the repository so future contributors don't repeat the work:

# Create a submission record to track compliance steps
touch SUBMISSION_NOTES.md

In SUBMISSION_NOTES.md, record: the declaration date, whether IAP was declared, and the Play Console account email used. If RevenueCat (react-native-purchases) or react-native-iap is present in package.json, select 'Yes, my app includes in-app purchases' and specify the purchase type. If no financial features exist, the 'No' declaration still requires completion — it takes under two minutes. Reference completed declarations in fastlane/metadata/android/ or src/store-metadata/compliance/.
