Used a paid for testing service for testing the app on 20 devices before release, all went well. After a short while my GP account was terminated for high-risk behavior. What can i do about it, how should i formulate the appeal? Should i even try? I have not heard of 1 successful appeal of this...

A friend created a Google play dev account for me back in 2017 under his name/payment profile. Now Google asks for id + address verification. He is no longer my friend and won’t provide the documents. 1. Can I change the account under my name and provide the documents under my name (do I need...

I have a number of android phones that have old versions of android and don't need them any more for testing. Was thinking of selling them for 10-20 EUR / piece. If someone with a banned developer account gets them, will i get banned by association? Also thinking about ad-abuse by the new user...

If you have 2 identical apps (say one free and one paid) and upload them both on the same Google Play account, can you get Spam violation? If yes, then are both apps suspended? or just the one that got the spam violation triggered?

New google play accounts are now required to use 20 testers for 14 days in order to be able to publish an app: https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/google-tightens-rules-android-app-developers This means that in order to make a new account after you get banned, you have to have 20...

I have an app on Google play account 1, if I upload another app (identical) and get “repetitive content” or “spam” violation, will both apps get suspended or only app 2? Also is there any way to test if app will be suspended or not before publishing to store? Do apps in alpha testing get only...

I created an app and published it. I would like to publish it multiple times on my account. Is it enough to just change the code superficially (rename classes, methods, variables) or do i need to create completely different code? For example i used a android library to create a bluetooth app...

I published an app that i made completely by myself. I want to publish the same app again with different marketing/keywords. That way i will have 2 apps/income sources and space to experiment with keywords. My questions: 1. If i post the same app twice will i get a violation for repetitive...

I released a new app yesterday, the app is not searchable for any keywords. 1. Anyone know how long does it take for app to be fully indexed/searchable for given keywords on GPlay? 2. Anyone know how long does it take for app to fully rank for those keywords (I want to change non-performing...

Let’s say I’m not banned on Google play and get policy strike #1 on first account. I then open a second account (without hiding identity) and get #1 strike on second account. I then (without hiding identity) open third account and get #1 strike. Will using this method (basically paying 25 USD...

I published and app on Apple app-store and tried to sneak in a branded-keyword in the title (it worked for smaller branded keywords)...app was rejected and i removed the branded keyword and was approved. Two questions: 1. Does the same person always review your app? As in if i try to put the...

Anyone has experience with the app add review process (admob first reviews your app, then allows you to show unrestricted ads). On my side everything is regulamentary except i don't show GDPR dialogue (for EU users) because i only serve non-personalized ads. Do they pick on the GDPR stuff...

Anyone has experience of using non-famous, nieche, small brand names/app names in description and title? Like this: App for <unknown brand1>, <local-non-famous app2>, <unknown brand2>, <local-non-famous app2>. Unknown brand = some Chinese brand Non-famous app = some local app with less than 1...

I was thinking of the theory of re-skinning existing apps i have copyrights to, and posting a lot of them (like over 100 or more). Is it possible in 2022? Will each individual reskinned app trigger a SPAM violation (100% of all posted apps - violation)? Or is it 50%/50% (50 will be spam, 50...
