Just how much can a person make from app-advertising?

You keep thinking of an Android App. This is a hardware based
direction finder that has a built in computah to do the number
crunching. No smartphone or Android gizmo involved. Therefore, I
won't be selling apps on the Play Store.

"Google Play app revenue up 82% in Q4 2016, 60% growth for the App
Store"

Google Play store collected $3.3Billion in revenue. Last year, the
split was 70% Google and 30% developer. Therefore the developers
collected about:
$3.3 billion / 0.7 * 0.3 = $1.4 billion
This year, the split is 85% Google and 15% developer, which indicates
that Google is getting greedy, developers were making to much money,
or both.

Blundering onward, the Play store has 2.6 million apps available.
About half are free, so that's 1.3 million apps. Average revenue per
app would be:
$1.4 billion revenue / 1.3 million apps = $1,100 revenue/app/year
Not enough to support product development.
