Does anyone know how this hack is implemented?
From what I can see, the app is using the PackageManager to query all apps on the device that require android.vending.BILLING permission to list out all the apps that support in-app purchases and then goes ahead and does something before launching the app that somehow displays a FAKE credit card when an in-app purchase is attempted on Play.
Since this hack requires the device to be rooted, I'm guessing it's somehow patching the Play client at runtime (?) to do its thing.
This no longer seem to work with most of the apps I've tried - including the one I just implemented using in-app billing v3.0 (consuming the purchase fails, which is a good thing).
I'm still interested in knowing how this used to work (or if it works at all) purely for academic interest.

Does Freedom App Work? In short, yes, it's a useful website blocker that will prevent you from accessing anything from YouTube to Facebook to the New York Times, assuming that's what you want. If you really need access to a critical website during a session, you can stop Freedom by quitting the app.
FreeCore courses are just what they sound like — free online classes! FreeCore courses are supported by USG eCampus and are delivered in an open online course format. They are tuition-free, and there is no hidden cost. FreeCore classes are non-credit courses.
To get started, first download the Freedom app via Google Play. Once you install it, log in with your Freedom account email and password. Your Android device will then be added to your account. The Freedom for Android app works by blocking both phone apps and websites of your choice.
In-app Google engine is so primitive... even not worth to spend time. The original samples for API 1/2 and API 3 are the basis for many real implementations. But those samples are bad. Really bad. Actually a potential hacker needs to hack a couple of functions which easily done in Java.
The good implementation involves a 3rd party (yours) server which verifies actual purchases vs Google In-app server.
