I am scammed and got my Play Developer account banned
Hello everyone,
In March 2023, I created my developer account and successfully published a bill-splitting app. Things were going well until I received emails from individuals who expressed interest in having their apps published through my account, offering $10 per week in return. Intrigued, I agreed to publish a basic game they provided, thinking it was harmless as it did not request any sensitive permissions or user information.
To my surprise, the app was not approved due to policy violatio...

Rules For Thee But Not For Me
Hi! I used to work at Google, specifically on the app enforcement side. I won't get too into that other than I focused on Android end user privacy and safety in the app world and have been responsible for many headaches app developers have faced around that subject. Not here to apologize either, I firmly believe user privacy must be a major priority on mobile platforms and wouldn't change any decisions and what I've seen in the Android app world when it comes to user tracking would make anyone's...

Android App Advice
Hello All,
I have an app idea and before I start building it I would like to get a feel of what people think about it. Is this a good app? does this app already exist? Is an app like this something you could see yourself using?
The App:
The idea for this application is that a user is able to take a picture of their receipt or invoice and the application automatically parses the information in the receipt collecting the amount spent, the store the items were purchased from, the purchase da...

White label apps security best practices
Hi everyone. I am not an android dev but an IT guy at a startup dealing with a concern in my company that I would like to ask about.
Basically, my company does white label apps for our customers and manages their Google play account through a shared Google workspace account.
My concern is that this account is shared and that user is basically an admin on all of our customer's apps and on our own app on the Play store.
It basically works as following : Customer gives that shared account admin...

Struggling with App Visibility on Google Play
I'm facing some challenges with my app's visibility on the Google Play Store, and I could really use some guidance.
Here's the situation: I developed an app specifically for the French market, and while we've gained substantial traction on iOS in just one month (1,000 downloads per day), our Android downloads have been surprisingly low (just 10 downloads in the last 10 days). Initially, we only targeted France and the app wasn't appearing on the Play Store unless users used the direct link.

1 star reviews because of paywall ed features
Hi Folks. Please help me understand why users retaliate in this manner. I have an app live on the Play Store with multiple features, majority of them free-to-use. No Ads too.
Now I have received one too many 1 star reviews because the one feature a user wants is behind a once-off $1.99 paywall. Is it beyond users that apps have to be maintained in one way or another? The app is not advertised as freemium either.
To other devs; how do you navigate such? I could make the app somewhat freemium an...

Google Play rejection for "App stability" with no details given
An app I submitted to Google Play was rejected on the grounds of "App stability". The guidance is simply "make sure your app behaves predictably at run time and doesn’t crash, hang, or display error messages." The play console adds "We've sent more information to the account owner's email address" - but there's no additional details in the email. No error logs, no stack traces, no memory dumps, no repro steps, no list of devices with issues, etc.
Of course, I want to know if my app is crashing...
