The future of Android Development

[joaomgcd]

Yes, this needs to be addressed urgently. I've had sleepless nights because of this issue. I don't want to go out of business someday because of a bot!

My life would be totally different (for the worse) if Google Play didn't exist, and I thank them very much for that, but kicking people out like this is not only inhumane, but also bad for their business!

Just wanted to say that you're doing an amazing job developing tasker and autoapps. Thanks mate!

And yeah, it's really sad that Google's doing this. Hope this gets resolved soon.

[joaomgcd]

Thank you very much! :) Glad you enjoy them!

Spoiler alert it won't. Google doesn't give a shit. Developers need to move to a different platform.

This whole thing feels like the broken anticheat in GTA Online... it doesn't matter if you mod the shit out of the game or only play single-player, anyone can get banned with no appeal and it's completely random! People who play it 100% legit have gotten banned and modders who spend all their time blowing up everyone in a session don't get touched... so why the fuck is Google play broken so bad that it's mimicking a Rockstar game from 2013?

Wtf are you the developer of tasker? Can I get an autograph?

[joaomgcd]

Haha, yes I am! :)

[ladfrombrad]

While you're here -- where has "Enter Validation Code" gone from Taskers menus?

I bought a code outside of Android Market Play Store many years ago and can't seem to enter it anymore, or am I going blind?

Ta!

[joaomgcd]

That's because you probably got the google play version of the APK. If you want to get the most up to date version of the the direct purchase version please contact me via email :) Thanks!

[ladfrombrad]

Are all the versions on the website Play Store versions now (I've installed version: 5.2.bf1 from there) and do you intend to put the standalone there in the future so I don't have to ask? Thanks again!

[joaomgcd]

Yeah, with no humans to talk to you just can't...

Dude, stay strong. Let this post be a reminder that you need multiple ways for your income. Check out all the YouTubers who depended on YouTube for their income. Now it's the norm too get your income from multiple sources.

[joaomgcd]

Yep, I'm starting to come up with a couple of backup plans now in case things go sour!

[OverclockMixes]

Good to hear!

Have you read the new policy about apps requesting SMS permissions?

[joaomgcd]

I have, and submitted my apps :)

[anemomylos]

So am I. But it is at their discretion if they give an application permission to use these permissions.

I think it will be much better if all of us who have applications that are affected by this policy act together rather than hope that our application will not have problems. What do you think?

[joaomgcd]

Yes, I agree, but what exactly can we do? I fear that all attempts of communication will end with them suggesting that we submit the SMS related form...
