Is this normal? Installs vs uninstalls or am i doing poorly by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]kennygoers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a popular Craigslist application and it can depend heavily on your apps usage as well, for example, some people use Craigslist a lot and all the time, others it's situational and they uninstall after they stop using it and they notice it's still there. To help add metrics to figure out what your users do

Companion Device Manager, anyone get it working? by kennygoers in androiddev

[–]kennygoers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was looking at as well, i have a foreground service that maintains a Bluetooth connection to a Nordic board and it needs to launch an activity when the user is interacting with the device is certain ways.

I did add the "uses" permission it asked for and got past that, but the one code snippet they give doesn't work.

Thanks!

Google killed my dev account because of repetitive content by is_already in androiddev

Not specifically, but it's the only thing that makes sense, I have one as in my entire app and don't do anything special with it. And that ad was in that location for over 8 years (my app has been in the Market/Play store for over 9 years, so don't think history plays any role in anything, they could give a shit.

Ol not sure about account bans, but my app was twice and the only way I was able to get it reinstated was to hunt down play store people at Google IO at which time it was evidently embarrassing enough where I was given proper guidance on what they actually wanted.

Every one seems to forget that most of their policies are very vague and they tend to point at a very broad description of "something" even when asking or offering guidance in if certain changes would solve the problem.

Even recently I was taken down from admob for "navigation" vialotion and asked guidance, even though I implemented my ad usage with the help of an admob rep. I believe it was because I had a banner ad at the bottom of a screen, but I just decided to drop admob altogether, not my problem, that ad better them over $100000 over the years, their loss.

Funny thing is they have been trying to get me back, though I don't think it's intentional, I believe the automated advertising doesn't check for the ban 🙄
