Hello,
My app is about 6 months old ... these last days it start to get more downloads and earning.
Google suddenly suspended it saying because "the Enabling Dishonest Behavior policy" in the canadian title (canadian language).
Do you have any ideas guys?

Do you really expect solution without even mentioning wtf app does? And what is the canadian language? Some special sort of english?
 
Canadian language is either English or French if I am not mistaken.

Can you tell us what you APP did so you can get some help from some of the smarter guys here (I'm not one of the smarter ones but thought I'd offer a road map for you to get help).
 
it's a phone calling prank app
and canadian french translation

google say :
We found an issue in the following area(s):
  • Title (fr_CA): “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx prank”
  • Title (fr_FR): “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx prank”

Prank apps are not allowed per Google Developer Program Policy​

------------------

Misleading Claims​

We don’t allow apps that contain false or misleading information or claims, including in the description, title, icon, and screenshots.

Here are some examples of common violations:
  • Apps that claim functionalities that are not possible to implement (e.g. insect repellent apps), even if it is represented as a prank, fake, joke, etc.

there are still millions prank apps since years (more than 5 years)
how can this be then ?
 
They change their policies. The other apps are probably grandfathered in.
