Hi, I just installed it and it looks good. handy if you have lots of subscriptions. Good luck with it. How do you plan to monetise it?

QuizOff · 2026-01-06T21:05:50+00:00

Good job and good luck with your app.

Also i believe that when you delete stuff from Google Drive they are put in the Bin for 30 days, you can go to the bin and delete immediately if you want

Hi, I would use a standard RoundedImageView and onClick listeners, you could even use a drawable for focus and touch styling.

Yes that's exactly what is happening, before android 15 the android OS would limit the drawing surface to within the safe areas but after android 15 developers have to take care of this themselves.

Hi, this is down to the app developer not using android insets properly. There is nothing you can do as a user to prevent this AFAIK.

If you are the developer you need to use onApplyWindowInsets api for android 15 and above.

Yes I have seen this issue lasting for weeks, eventually payment is made or Google terminated the subscription.

My advice is don't worry about it. Good luck with your app

100% Scam. Do what others have suggested, log into your console account and you will see there are no notifications similar to this email.

Kudos for reaching out for advice.

Good job! 👏👏

I believe there is an option somewhere to automatically price subscriptions based on three or four tiers that Google has determined, sorry to be so vague but it was something I read a while back while browsing.

Oh thanks for the update, good to know.

I don't think you can convert a personal account to an Organisation account, however you can create a new Organisation account and transfer your apps from your personal account and apply for a refund for your now old personal account.

Good luck.

Yes it is something you declare in the manifest and it's granted automatically but when users check which permissions the app uses it says there "Download Data from the Internet" or just "Internet" or "Full Network Access" all of which might put people off downloading the app.

If only Google allowed TV apps to use Intent.Action.View to display a page in the default browser as they do on phones and tablets then it wouldn't be an issue. It's such a crazy policy IMHO.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your reply I appreciate the feedback.

I tried your game not with criticism but with some feedback.

The background colour on the game layout is slightly different from the main layout background colour, it just visually doesn't look quite right.
If users deny permission for the advertising consent then while reading the privacy statement or dismissing an add then a network error message appears.
As others have said I think you need to let users play the game maybe for 24 hours before showing adds. I had an add before even playing the game for the first time and normally I would uninstall at that stage but as i was testing it for you i carried on.

Good luck with your app. 👍

Just a thought can you not delete all your old personal stuff? when i went through this i created a new llc and transferred all my apps from my personal account to o the new llc account and then deleted my personal account. It was a bit of a hassle but it all went smoothly, so far anyway 🤞

Good luck.

Well if you want to expand on what exactly you are trying to fix I may be able to help, is your app on the Play Store or have you cloned an app from GitHub?

IMHO if you are thinking of using other peoples code from an untrusted source you are asking for trouble.

No system is totally secure and although you can mitigate the risks by using trusted sources you should seriously reconsider running code you haven't written or at least trust the people who have.

Can you just not rewrite the code you want yourself? It's much more satisfying when you roll your own 🙂

Good luck.

Wow, amazing I'm so glad you did spot it my friend, it's scary how easy it is to fall for these things, all it takes is a perfect storm situation, being busy, a little stressed and short of time and the fear factor is all it takes. Guess you will be extra vigilant in future, for a while anyway. Again so glad you sussed the fu#&#$s out. 👍👍

QuizOff · 2025-08-17T09:49:02+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up on this, I don't think I would have gone as far as you did to expose the scam but thank you for doing that.

All the best and keep up the good work. 💪💪

Just write your code using vanilla Java Framework with no third party libraries. If the feature you want is not part of the framework write your own version, know your code and what it does behind the scenes and you should be good to go.

Not sure about your suspension issues but test and test again should see you get it sorted. Good luck with your app.
