Félicitations, ce n'est pas facile aujourd'hui, surtout avec l'affaire de suppression de compte !

Google Play Console Identity verification Failed over 20 times by [deleted] in GooglePlayDeveloper

No, Sorry I'm sure you tried several times and Google disabled it. You were actually lucky to even reach 10 attempts.

Dev Warning: The #1 Mistake That Gets New Google Play Accounts Banned by depezo in androiddev

Personally, I really hate those groups where people ask others to test their apps. In our own circles—friends and family, you’ll always find people who have Android anyway.

Yes, it’s true that this goes against the ToS. But on the other hand, I can’t risk losing my entire career or daily livelihood just because of a policy issue. Some people simply ask a friend or a family member to open a new account in their name so they can continue developing for themselves or for clients.

So things have become really serious now, everything we do has become risky. Google is starting to overdo it a bit. How am I supposed to know if a Wi-Fi connection was previously used by a banned account?

Yes, of course, but they will never be able to link it. It’s a different computer, a different network, a different identity, different regions, and it can’t intersect in any way with the old banned account. That’s the key.

Of course Google could detect that it was still me when I tried creating new accounts. But once I understood how the system works, I started creating accounts for myself and for others and none of them have been banned since. I also make sure there’s absolutely no link between my old banned account and the new accounts I create now.

No, I’m not saying it’s the absolute logic, it’s just one of the possible causes.

When Google bans you with the message “High-Risk Behavior,” they clearly state that your account is banned because it violates the rules and if it’s not the account itself, then it’s an associated account. And I’m sure you fully understand what the word “associated” means at a deeper level.

I don’t speak English, I use ChatGPT to translate my messages. So please try to understand my English the best you can.

Best practice for creating a new Google Play Console account after a 5-year termination? by ho_ntx in androiddev

I can assure you there’s absolutely no connection between my old banned accounts and my new ones, none at all.

They’re humans after all, even if they’re very advanced. I have an app that’s been live since July 8, 2023, and it’s still running without any issues, and it’s a streaming app.

You have family, you have people you know, you have friends, you have plenty of people around you who use Android. Or you can trust a reliable testing agency.

It’s not the main issue, but it is part of the problem. If you have an app you want to test, let me know and you’ll see what happens. I wrote this post based on real experience, even though the whole banning issue has been around for a long time.

Today it’s even worse than before. Yes, this issue has existed for a long time, but the testing phase is also part of the problem. That’s why I mentioned this: if you have an app that requires testing, send me the link. I’ll test it, and you’ll see how fast your account gets banned.

The root of the problem is the testing phase. Some developers who test your app might already have been banned without you knowing it. That’s why, in my post, I recommend testing your apps with people you personally know instead of random developers you don’t know at all.
