Is MLKit free for production? How can you bundle MLKit into the APK for the app so the User doesn't have to download it?

Per ChatGPT

If your Android app is using a currency conversion API that requires an API key, then each user who downloads your app will be using the same API key unless you implement a mechanism to generate a unique API key for each user. This means that any API requests made by users of your app will be associated with your original API key.

Regarding billing, it depends on the terms and conditions of the API provider. Some providers charge based on the number of requests made, while others charge based on the number of unique users or installations of the app. You should carefully review the terms and conditions of the API provider to determine whether you will be billed for requests made by users of your app.

In any case, it is generally a good idea to implement a mechanism to track the number of API requests made by your app's users so that you can monitor usage and avoid unexpected charges. You may also want to consider implementing a mechanism to limit the number of requests made by each user to avoid exceeding the API provider's usage limits.
