You can use the AccountManager and get the first 'google.com' account, but that

Yep, that's what I figured too.

 

AFIAK, the IAB API doesn't expose this directly.

Yep again.

 

If you are authenticating to App Engine you can use
the Users to get the current account as well.

I *will* be authenticating to AppEngine, but to do so via a web service you need to pass that auth along with the http request, which means you need to gather it on the Android device first, which leads back to the top. Or did I miss something?
