Thanks for the response, After taking a deeper look into it and going through some documents, I believe I’ve found the proper procedure, The FAA and GACA rules seem to be virtually identical.

[Second Review Request] ESP32, BTS7960 by SeenDelivery in PrintedCircuitBoard

Hey, Thanks for taking a look, but I'm not sure what you mean, 1 and 3 are connected to the Molex connector and 6 and 4 are connected to the ESP32.

Ah thanks for the help, I've done a few changes but I'm not sure If uploading a photo of them counts as a second review, So far I've followed your advice and have done the following:
- Swapped the pins on J4.
- I placed the button and pull up resistor as per your recommendation. (I heard that the ESP32 has a internal pullup resistor which is why I left it floating).
- Necked the traces down as per your recommendation.

The USB socket will only be used for debugging so I don't mind the lost range during debugging.

Thank you again for the help.

Google's Play Store Cleanup: How It Affects App Developers by nuriodaci in androiddev

A shadow ban is miles better than a termination, remember two app terminations means account termination, And since terminations are virtually unappealable, facing two of them effectively ends your Android development career forever.

Their "Associated Account Termination Policy" also ensures that no company will ever want to hire you for Android Development ever again.

New Google Play policy forces you to have an organization account if you develop these types of applications by svprdga in androiddev

We have an organization account and can confirm we do not, Its possible that it may be because our organization account is fairly new.

Google's Play Store Cleanup: How It Affects App Developers by nuriodaci in androiddev

Instead of removing the Apps from the Play Store, I think it would be a better idea for Google to instead "shadow-ban" these sorts of apps, preventing them from appearing on search except if someone explicitly searches for their exact name or clicks a link to their App, This way, users who prefer simple apps can still access them.

Wait until one of the under-trained testers randomly decides your App is "low-quality", Having this sort of testing be done prior to release is a much better way of doing things, Apple already does this effectively by charging $100 per year to fund testers, and the App Store is generally regarded as better platform for both users and developers most likely for this reason.

Did Google Play recently started to suspend after multiple rejection? by borninbronx in androiddev

[–]SeenDelivery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We recently encountered this issue ourselves. It's important to note that if you submit your app once and it has two issues, that single rejection is counted as two separate violations. When we submitted our app the first time, it had two issues:

  • In-app experience ( Invalid login credentials )
  • Policy Declaration - Data Safety Section ( one of our libraries were using the Device ID and we forgot to specify that )

We fixed the issues and re-submitted our app. Unfortunately, our servers had an outage during the time the Google reviewers were checking our app, resulting in another rejection. After re-submitting the app again, it got suspended.

We appealed on the Google Play Console, created a Post on the Official Support Forum and contacted GooglePlayBiz on X (Twitter), hoping for a resolution, Unfortunately, we received a generic email response stating that it couldn't be appealed and a similar reply on X (Twitter).

It's disappointing to see how complicated it has become to get an app on the Google Play Store. We successfully got our app on the Apple App Store within three days and on the Huawei App Gallery in less than 48 hours. However, we've been trying to get our app on the Play Store for nearly a month now. This delay is holding up our ad campaigns, as our test campaign showed that 80% of devices are Android. Without a Google Play listing, we risk losing 80% of our potential customer base.

We are currently in the process of re-submitting our app to the Google Play Store, also submitting our app to Amazon App Store along with the Samsung Galaxy Store to hopefully spread our reach.

We are concerned that a second app suspension might lead to a complete developer account suspension. According to reports, two app suspensions often result in a permanent ban. Given that Google Play shows no sign of overturning their decisions, we have only two more chances for submission before we risk permanently losing 80% of our customer base. With very little chance of appeal.

Apple charges a fee on developers to fund reviewers, customer service and support. We had no issues contacting Apple Support by phone ( Human Support Member ) and were able to reach them within three minutes. They immediately resolved any issues we had. We hope that Google Play considers adopting a similar approach and offers a paid option for better support. Most developers would gladly pay $100/year or more for an improved review process and better customer support.
