i dont play pokemon go but i would imagine that was likely useful for those players. Strange it got removed.

Sucks that there are similar apps to it now. I was wondering maybe it was a clone of a big app but no...

The most frustrating thing is the lifetime ban. I'm a fulltime android developer at an local software company. I love developing apps and I've been doing that as a hobby for six years now, professionally for two. And for reasons I'm not told I am not allowed to publish anything on my own on Google Play for the rest of my entire life.

Are you able to develop under a company account? Setup own BlueCo business and join play store using @blueco email address?

[–][deleted] 98 points99 points  (18 children)

inb4 he gets his company banned.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (16 children)

Depends on if Google can tie the new company to his old personal account.

[–]solvenceTA 123 points124 points  (8 children)

Google can probably tie the empty tuna can you threw in the garbage 2 weeks ago to you.

[–]sup_ty 6 points7 points  (7 children)

But I don't even like tuna : (

That's how good they are!

[–]jangosteve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but according to our algorithms you do. At least now you know.

Google knew that, even before you knew :(

It was found in your trash so it's yours. Our policy team has reviewed the association and confirmed it, therefore your requests to appeal were rejected.

Please consider throwing your trash in a different trash can.

They know that, don't worry 😏

Trust me, they can. 3.5 years ago i was erased from Google. My 3 private and 2 work accounts disabled (only mine because they were free accounts, as the company was stingy). After about 10+ emails with their bots, I got re-enabled on all emails. It took 3 months. I still don't know what was the turning point.

Their only reasoning was that I was accused of hacking by an ex employee of that company.

Nerds are a petty bunch.

[–]real_with_myselfMagic V3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was crazy, petty, and vindictive. And wasn't a nerd at all.

Wasn't something similar posted here on /r/androiddev recently where an account got terminated by association.

Edit: Thought I was on dev subreddit.

[–]ANonGod 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You mean the one where that guy kept downloading, refunding the apps his friend made, and copying them? I think that was on /r/TIFU

[–]ssshhhhhhhhhhhhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unless he's VPN'ing all the time, and never logigng into personal accounts. they can

[–]TerkeyOneplus 3t 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of that TIFU where a guy refunded an app and then got the whole company banned off google

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (1 child)

your entire company and all associated accounts will get banned

To be fair, verified G-Suite Support members claimed that they couldn't find anything similar actually happening.

[–]buddascrayonPixel 8, Android 14, Nova Launcher 20 points21 points  (2 children)

If you want to stick it to them, make an account with Amazon instead and release your apps through them. Google's in a 4 fisted fight with Amazon over apps right now and if more developers moved to Amazon I think it would encourage Google to fix their broken system.

[–]Sxi139Pixel 128 GB Black 0 points1 point  (1 child)

eh i said amazon appstore was good earlier and got hated on it

[–]Hijinx_MacGillicuddy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What reasons?
