It's been speculated that this is a requirement of European customer
protection laws.
Let's say someone has an issue with your paid app and you aren't able to
resolve it over email (and let's imagine you're irresponsible and ignore
the user's request to refund).
Knowing that address, the customer can get on a plane, fly halfway around
the world, knock on your door with his / her phone in hand, and show you
that "see, when I click there, it turns green".

Isn't displaying developers' addresses so blatantly a violation of
developer privacy ?
This may be legal but it seems pretty intrusive, like a rectal probe feels
pretty intrusive.
I thought Google's motto was: "don't be evil". I'm not sure this policy of
blatantly displaying developer addresses, with no regard for their personal
privacy, complies with Google's motto.

Dear Android Developers,
I got the following notification at Google play Developer Console.

add a physical address

available on your app's detail page to

update your information on

I do not want to disclose my home address in public, because I am an
individual developer.
This is privacy issue. I don't understand why Google requires my physical
address.
I disclose my e-mail address and users can contact me. Also I can reply to
messages that is written
in review at Google Play.
If I am working for a company and office address is disclosed in public, I
do not care for it.
But do you want to know your home address in public?
# I sent a feedback about objection for this requirement.
