Question Google Assistent video on Watch 4 - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

On youtube there is a video of the google assistent, atleast it claims it. And they also tell you that you can get it, if you buy it " for a little price" - for me it sounds like a scam. But even if it's not, i think it's pretty obvious that it's not allowed to sell software from another developer - espacily if it's freeware. But maybe you can get an overview how it will look like - if it's not a fake with many effort.

People should be careful what they install on their devices, when I asked to review the code for this, I got banned from the telegram group.

Why Google removed "Just In" section?

Why Google removed it?
It was the only way for developers who don't have money to advertise or don't work for any big company to get a little bit of space to present their apps.
I believe a lot of quality apps will stay unrecognized because users will not be able to find them. I barely find my own app and I know exactly what I'm searching for.
I released my new app yesterday and even when I search for its name its not at the top of the search results. I don't really see how people would be able to discover it if you can't even find it when looking for it. They should bring the Just In section back ASAP

+ trying to make up the difference between AppStore <-> PlayStore
Since theres been move coverage that the AppStore is still generating more money (especially for developers which makes it more attractive to prioriate the AppStore).
Alch
I think this is also to prevent spam. When the "just in" section was still there, some of my apps were updated ten times a week, just because the developer wanted to leave it's app there. I was spending more time updating them than using them.
Yeah, Nowdays $$$$$$$~!!

Spammers on my apps!?

So I have this person every app I post to the android play store he comments negitive and gives it one star. Is there a way to get a person banned from my apps ?

If your app is in the google play store, then it sounds like that person is breaking the Comment Posting Policy.
Don't post fake reviews intended to boost or lower ratings.

I'd report him - instructions for doing so are also in the aforementioned link.

Yea I just saw that they need to have a report page for this this person has hit every single app that I have.
What are some of your apps? If they're good, I'm sure some generous people could counteract one spammer pretty quickly.

been fighting with another dev that for the second time has gotten my account banned..... The dev name is qualityapps.org he sends google fake dcma reports like today 3 apps got yanked back to back then banned I submitted a appeal with proof to google and didn't get over turned. So pissed and fed up with google not having customer support number for devs.

You might want to consider hiring a lawyer, though I know that's never an exciting option. Proof is proof, though, and if Google gets a letter from a laywer, their legal team will have to get involved.
wow. does the Play Store have problems with this generally? I would have hoped android devs would get along better. I want to publish an app so I'll keep my eyes open if it happens to me.

Basically if a dev has a app like call of duty (we know how many of those are out) and you are at the top of the chart they will submit a DCMA report and get it removed off the market or get you banned so there app gets more downloads. This will be my third time signing up to google.

[Q] Advertising my first app

Hello dear fellow XDA members
About 2 months ago, I got interested in Android App Development. Having no Java experience, I looked around the internet for tutorials on it.
Fast forward to today and here I am, able to make some basic yet useful applications. I've been thinking about making a few bucks by in-app advertising and in-app purchases. I have a few questions:
1) Do you think it is advisable to put ads in my app? What if the number of downloads are pretty good?
2 How many downloads should I have on my app so as to put ads in my app successfully?
3) Is admob free? Are there any fees that I have to pay so as to get ads on my app?
4) How, where and which type of adds will I get for my app? Is there some specific procedure to go through so as to add advertisements to my app?
Answers to the above questions and a basic step-by-step (along with all the money I have to pay for ads) mini tutorial of how advertising should be done would be very helpful
Thanks in advance
p.s. XDA is awesome :"D

Thanks but that wasn't the type of answer I was looking for.
Anyways, I was just curious about the ads part. I'll give a thought bout making it open source. Maybe sometime later but not now.
So if you could just clarify my doubts based on the ads part, I'd be very thankful

So if you'd answer my questions regarding ads, I'd be satisfied

This is a quote from another developer from the Unity forums. The link is at the end of the quote, I copied and pasted this is unaltered.
"I hear the average cost to acquire a new user via AdMob is about $2 per user. If you charge $1 buck per game (earning yourself 70c,) that's definitively not cost effective, and worse: the $2 is more of an average based on the fact that most people using AdMob are freemium games. If you are actually selling your game, it's very likely fewer users will even look at your game even if they click on the ad.*
Download a game with ads, and look at what gets promoted. There is a reason why most the stuff there are free games. Not to mention: if a user is seeing those ads, it's very likely because they rather see ads than pay to buy the ad-free version, what makes you think that kind of user will click on an ad to BUY a game. However, many may get a free game, and once playing, the game may employ psychological games to trigger the gambling urge to spend money with IAP."

Hope that helps on one of your questions. I research, I'm not a developer. There was a lot more that I found, but I can't do all the work.?

Support indie developers and I'll release free watchfaces for your Sony SmartWatch 2

Hi, as you may know my Google developer account has been suspended. I have lodged appeals to have Google reconsider their decision but they have failed to respond. This is not uncommon for them and is quite disappointing. A petition has already been started by another developer to get Google to treat developers more fairly. If you would like to show your support, please sign up on the link below. For every 10 sign ups via my link below, I will make one of my watchfaces available for free to download. I had just created over 10 new watchfaces when my account was shut down.
Many thanks for your support!

No problem, signed the petition straight away. Its a pleasure to support you, even in such a small way. Thanks for all the hardwork. I have enjoyed using your watchfaces. Really sorry about what Google have done. You kind of get the feeling that devs working on Android Wear will not suffer the same treatment.
Although new watchfaces would be nice, I have lost all of your free-to-download watchfaces from Play store, when I flashed the KK 4.4.4 update for my phone. Any chance you could upload them somewhere and make those available for download?

Thanks mate!
Guess what... as of about 60 seconds ago Google has decided to reinstate my account! I will be selectively republishing my watchfaces - only those that are original designs though just to be safe.
My offer to release a free watchface for every 10 petition signatures still stands though and I will release them here free when each target is met. The watchfaces will still be available to purchase via Google Play (once I'm set up again).
Thats great. Glad to hear google saw sense.

Hi, yes this is something I've started the process of doing but will hold off now as my google account is back online. Unfortunately the time and effort spent publishing to amazon takes time away from actually designing new watchfaces. It takes me about 15-20 mins per app to get it prepared and listed on amazon or google as I need to do the graphics for each.
I think the reason to close the account in the first place was due to the violation brands name/designs. I warned about this in some post and put a link to the page which had alot of information for developers/designers what they need to know when designing something that already exists. But cant find that post anymore. Hmmm... Odd... Anyway, the problem is mostly that people uses other designs/part of the designs or brand name as part of their own designs. Just checked Play store and it seems to be that they removed those watchfaces violating other brands like Rolex etc. Am I right?
This is good for everyone who does some design works

Thanks for this. Yes it was although what finally triggered my account suspension was based on an incorrect ruling. That is why I was able to get my account back and took precautions to prevent further issues by removing all my other watchfaces that were a potential risk.
Thanks for the links, I'll have a look into them for future reference.
Think that it was actually better that Google did something than any of those companies demanding their legal rights. It might have been nasty situation.

Yes, exactly right... I had already started to make modifications such as removing logos but I think it is safer just to remove them all and start with my own designs.

You saying - You are not selling
You saying - Donation is not mandatory.
You saying - Download link will be available only after you get 50$
So I am reading it correct, kindly close the thread as it is against XDA rule. one can't make download link conditionally available. Yeah you can request donation for your hard work.

Good evening, this announcement, caller is not ready yet, the word ''donat'' used only as a recommendation to expedite the process. 50$ is just a forecast completion of the work, probably not the best equivalent my fault.

Being honest. ..if i had the ability to make international transaction,i wouldn't pay you a single penny .you know why ? Because of your commercial approach.
Mod attention needed because you have violated rules.
Go somewhere else and find a commercial site where you will be able to do your own commercial advertisement.
POWERED bY TWEAK Rom and ShuRiken
Mod Edit
If you make something , and post it on XDA , then , users may donate , if they so wish
Asking for donations before you release something is not allowed.
Please refrain from doing this
