Recently I was informed by another member of XDA, about posting multiple version of the same app in Google Play... My question is, what is the policy for free and donate apps? If i was to have two apps, both the same, one for free, the other for donations... Does this fall under the same rule as don't post multiple version of the same app in Google Play?

greetings
i'm sorry if this is against any of xda rules, or shouldn't be posted here. but i'm an android developper having a top app in my country (1 million + downloads on play store) and the thing is every time my app seems to be top app, google removes it and sends me a warning + they suspend my account. i'm pretty sure the app is virus free, and does not contain any privacy violation. in fact there are several other apps offering the same features ( or at least trying to ) and i cant contact google from a 3rd world country.
i'm not sure if a competitor is running a script on the report page , or google removes it by mistake. could any of you guys help me try to figure this out?
PM me for further info
thanks

I'm pretty sure that if you are able to create an app and publish it "from a 3rd world country" then you are more than able to contact Google and resolve this yourself.
Sir that is a strong title, Please take it up with Google.
Thank you & Thread closed.
I have seen discussion here about which app store is the best, my question as a newbie is quite different:
Can I publish my app monetized with Admob and Tapgage as it is on several app stores without changing anything in the app itself?
Do I break any Google publisher rules by doing that?
Hello!
My first app.
The app is the latest publication in Google Play.
It contains all the applications were not included in the top google and have not yet received popularity.
You may be able to include these applications and games to find the real gems and appreciate one of the first ones news that developers have not yet somehow unleash
This application is for those who like to look for gems and be always aware of new products.

Hello.
I do'nt know if this is the right forum, if not just move please.
I have the following question: There are apps on the internet, which allow one to crack ingame purchases. One of these
apps is freedom for example. you just have to press a button, and you get ingame purchases in a game of your choice for free.
I want to know, why things like that actually can exist, and how they work. Are they using bugs of the google play store? Or of the apps?
Why so many people can use it, without getting in trouble with the laws?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this topic.
We don't discuss warez on XDA at all. Any app that can bypass paid features of other apps, falls under that category.
So please review the rules here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256 Especially number 6. :good:
You will not find help with those apps on this site.
Thread closed.
Thanks,

Hello to all,
I released my first free Android App on Play Store.
My concern is that it'll may be removed because of fake/invalid reviews or similar.
The following reviews are considered valid or they can cause its removal or an account ban form the Play Store?
- I rate my own App with the same account used as developer
- My wife/colleagues/kindred rate my App with their personal Google account using the same IP I use to login in the Play Console
- My colleagues rate my App with their personal Google account using the same IP I use to login in any Google service (e.g. Gmail, Drive, ...)
- Rate from users set as App tester in the previous version of the App inside a close group (alpha), independently of the IP used
I already searched for an official information on the Web, without success.
(Please tell me If I posted in the wrong/inappropriate forum or directly move this question to the right place for me)
Thanks a lot!

Let the community of users that download the app make their own legitimate reviews. Let your work speak for itself, don't try to cheat. If your app is worth its salt, you won't need to pad your app's description with false reviews on its Playstore page.

You completely misunderstood my question.
I have that concern in order to avoid any Google policy violation, not to violate them!
I'll never try to cheat.
So, please post a new answer.
Thanks

Sorry, I guess I don't see the reason for your concern. If you are aware of the things that are considered violations and if you don't do those things, what is the problem?

The problem may occurs when till I operates following the Google policies, others (e.g. a colleague) post a review to my App using the same IP I use to login to the Play Console (even if I asked them to don't do it).
In this case, Google may think that there is a link between my account and his (due to the same IP), so Google may think that I created a second account for that purpose.
The same problem occurs if you click on an Adv from the same IP used by the developer: in this case you can also incur a suspension of the account!
I hope I have been clearer.

I get it, but, what are you really wanting to ask/know? We can't do anything to prevent your colleagues, friends and family from posting reviews from your IP so what are you asking for? What do you really need from us?
