thereâs a story there that I want to read
I wish I could say that Google is better at that. Itâs basically the same story but with even less humans to talk to when youâre flagged for doing something wrong or in the case of Google your former college roommate whom you havenât seen in 10 years did something wrong. Itâs the price all mobile devs pay unless they only want to distribute to a small subset of users who have liberated their phones.

There was a time when at least once a month on that âother siteââs android channel that you would see a post about someone getting their account permanently banned. Sometimes it was because they made a spammy app while in high school or college but had turned over a new leaf and were using a new Google account. Sometimes it was a company who had employed someone who had been previously banned but only ever signed into the play console under a company email but probably also signed into their personal mail on the work machine. How true are the claims? I canât say.

when I started with mobile apps google was easy and apple was a problem.
nowadays apple is very clear on what they allow and what they donât and itâs possible to go back and forth with them to get something approved.
google is trying their hard to be as strict as apple while putting 0 of the effort in to correct problems. not to mention that android is a fucking piece of garbage to maintain. you have like 4 deadlines per year, you need to update this or that thing or your app wonât work on this or that device, or the deprecation deadline for fucking safetynet arrives and they take two weeks to repair the google play integrity service.

tbh i think that safetynet and other attestation features are a waste of time should die.
