The client has now a couple of apps on the market but the time for renewal has come. Since my client has no plan for a new apps he asked me to let the subscription run out. AM I right to think that his self-hosted control panel would still be functional for the existing apps but he couldn't create new ones? What if he decides to subscribe again later, can things be re-connected? Thanks for clarifying.

He won't be able to make new apps. He also will not be able to "prepare project for download" to his old apps. When Apple or Google update their operating systems, some of the functionality will have been deleted or replaced by new techniques. That means his "older" apps may not run on subsequent OS releases. He should know about planned obsolescence and be prepared to deal with it by deleting the app from the device or by renewing his membership at that time. -- Niraj Comments His control panel will still work.

As you may recall, a guest is limited to three. Warren Comments @farcat - Does your client have more than three apps in his account? As you may recall, a guest is limited to three. Warren

I am pretty sure that he is not interested in making apps as a guest. Cheers, Farid Comments Hi Warren, He has no apps on his BT account and two on his self-hosted account.

My membership is ending in a few months and wanted to know what will happen to the apps I published on the Play store under this account. Can people continue using them without trouble? will they have any type of errors or bugs? Thanks! Comments Hi, I'm in a similar situation.
