As said before, the %30 overhead and the rules concerning currency exchange kill this idea.

Couple of problems:

1) 30% overhead!

2) The transactions are often backed by credit cards, so there is a long list of things that aren't allowed. See the last one:

It may be that you could do it for a while, but it's unclear that it'd be sustainable.
Agreed. 30% + Exchange Fees + Your Profit = 35%-40% above exchange rates. Even if it got accepted into the store your app would get shut down quickly.

I'm searching for an android app for Bitcoin (a bitcoin wallet?) with the ability to buy Bitcoin as in-app purchase using the Google Play credit.

This forum is full of genial programmers thus if a similar app don't exist I'm sure there is a reason.

Do you know something about this?

Thank you
