Google Play Store getting gift card, wish list support: Report

By Gaurav Shukla | Updated: 16 August 2012 16:30 IST

Google is getting ready to bring two of the most missed features to its Play Store soon. These features are Play Store gift cards and support for wish lists. According to a report in Android Police, they were able to find the evidence of both these features in the code Play Store APK version 3.8.15, which starting rolling out to Android users today.

The evidence was further cemented by a developer, who hacked the Play Store APK, and shared the screenshots of both the features in working.

It is likely that Google will soon start selling the gift cards in its Play Store and these would be applicable on Books, Magazines, Movies, Music, TV shows and Apps purchases similar to what Apple does with iTunes gift cards. Google may also include the support for Chrome web store.

The second feature wish list seems like the other good old internet wish lists and will allow Android users add applications, magazine and other Play Store content that they wish to purchase.

We won't go in the technical evidence of both these features, which includes the presence of new icons, layout resources and changes to Android manifest.

There is no word about the exact availability of these features or how they will be rolled-out, but we hope to hear something very soon.
