I'm pretty sure the Google Play Store does require this. I remember a few years ago (no longer at the company) having to verify a phone number and maybe address that is posted publicly.

> I find this hard to believe, since Google Play store requires much less info, and doesn't disclose it to consumers (AFAIK).

This changed recently.

I'm not published in Google Play and don't have Android to check for myself, but when I look it up, I find claims that they do publish names and addresses for paid apps / apps with in-app purchases, due to the same EU law.
