I bought a few items on google play, texture packs and skin packs but when the bedrock update came out the items stayed in my possession just not linked to my xbox account so I can't play them on my windows 10 edition or on the switch edition of bedrock I will soon get. My phone is a samsung note 3, I doubt I wouldn't have the same problem on any other phone. Sorry if this is a repeat bug report, I always search to see if the report already exists, i can't find one and then i report it to find out it already exists. seems related to MCPE-21219, MCPE-19065, After reading comments in the MCPE-19065 report I agree with the mod Celesian, it is a problem like that but I figure it should be like buying java, when you buy java you get windows 10 free, i think buying a texture pack on google play should allow you to have it free throughout the marketplace on other devices as long as you're signed into your coralating xbox account. If it helps I searched google play in the reporter and scrolled through all the reports and that's how I found the two reports above. The screenshots below were taken much after the purchases of the items in the mobile screenshot and were taken nearly at the same time.

Before the Minecraft Marketplace was introduced, real money was used to buy the in-game Texture Packs and Skins. When Mojang did it this way, all of the content had to pass certification on every single platform. The Marketplace and Minecraft Coins were introduced to avoid this.Basically the problem is the packs were bought through google play and certified by google play but weren't certified by microsoft/mojang and microsoft/mojang hasn't added a function to certifiy packs bought through google play. You are right in quoting that but I'd still expect a trade up system like if you bought it before minecraft marketplace, it would recognize that you own it and unlock it in turn. This already exists with the console editions, from what I've heard, packs bought outside the marketplace on those editions can be used on bedrock. @Jonathan Hanzel
Thank you for your report!
