I built an app to clean my gallery because I have 3,000+ photos. I’d love your brutually honest feedback!
Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a new app called Swypic for the past few months. The idea came from my own frustration: I had thousands of screenshots, duplicates, and blurry photos clogging up my storage, but deleting them one by one was so boring.
So I built Swypic to make it actually fun—it works like Tinder for your photos. Swipe right to keep, swipe left to delete. It also has a review bin so you don't accidentally delete something important.
I’m currently looking for genuine feedback ...

How can I unlock my phone without a screen?
It turns out that I have a Samsung Galaxy A21s. Yesterday, after a fall, the screen broke and came off. I already want to replace the phone, but I want to extract my data first. Unfortunately, yesterday I didn’t notice the battery level and it powered off. Now the phone is asking for the unlock PIN, but since I don’t have the screen, I can’t enter it.
Is there any tool that allows me to enter the PIN from the PC, or remove the PIN? The phone has a fingerprint reader, but since it powered off, I...

Issue with Google Play’s Automated Suspensions Affecting Indie Developers
Hello Developer,
My name is Vishal, and I am a solo developer. I can clearly see how Google is acting arbitrarily toward small developers like us. Their automated system creates issues where, without any prior warning, apps are suspended, apps are removed, and sometimes even entire Play Console accounts are terminated directly. On top of that, Google does not refund the $25 developer registration fee.
I believe all developers should come together and raise their voices on this issue. Our governm...

My open source app is removed for foreground service violation 6 months post publishing, need clarification if anyone else is in the same boat.
I have received an email from Play store of foreground service violation and that the app is no longer available. It's just a little utility I have developed(free and open source, https://github.com/eswarm/narada) and uploaded for others to use.
I have uploaded the video like they asked, and I am assuming it is because that the play store description does not mention it( I do not remember that being an ask in their documentation, maybe it's in some nook I missed).

PWA assetlink.json question
I've created a PWA, I'm just experimenting and learning really. I used GitHub to host and PWABuilder to create the abb, apk, etc. I've got everything working on Play Console, it's in Closed Testing with 12 testers (14 days left before I can go into Production) and they can download the app fine and use it fine. But I'm trying to get ahead of the game, so I've added the .well-known folder to the top of my GitHub repo and I've put the assetlinks.json (I know the title says assetlink.json but I did...

Publishing OTP Authenticator App on Google Play — Any Requirements I Might Miss?

I’m about to publish an OTP authenticator app (TOTP/HOTP) on Google Play. It stores secrets locally, supports QR scan, and optionally biometric lock.
Before I submit, I want to make sure I’m not missing any Play Store policy requirements specific to OTP/authenticator apps (permissions, privacy, Data Safety form, etc.).
If you’ve published something similar — what are the common things that cause rejection or extra review?
