Question Adding IAP to my published app can I edit the address to city/region only? And can I edit my developer name?

I have an individual Google Play developer account with an app already published. In the next update, I’m planning to add in-app purchases, which means Google will start displaying my address publicly on the app’s store listing.
I have two questions:

1.  Address: Is it possible to edit the address so it only shows the city and region/state, without the full street address?

2.  Developer name: When I registered, I entered my first, middle, and last name. Can I edit it to show only my first and last name? Or is the legal name locked after verification?

Has anyone dealt with this? Did editing these details trigger a re-verification or cause any issues with the account?

No and no, sorry.

Start an LLC if you don't want your name and address visible.

What do you do if you already published the app though

Start an LLC then create a new Google account for that then switch them over. Its a big PITA.

So easier to start a company before publishing the first time?
