К сожалению пост будет без картинки, и не совсем о разработке.
Буду краток:
Приложение тут же попадает под некий фильтр, и количество новых установок сокращается с 5000/в день до 2000. Я предположил что речь идет об иконке. Иконка было взята отсюда, распространяется по лицензии Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) и судя по тексту лицензии разрешается ее использования для некоммерческих целей. Впрочем, иконка явно несет некий трибьют к иконке winamp и, дабы не гневить Гугл я в тот же день изменил иконку, отписавшись в гугл плей. Следующее письмо:
Вот так сюрприз, подумал я. Это явно какая то ошибка, о чем и написал в Гугл плей. Но видимо было уже поздно:
Какой вывод? Любой конкурент может «накликать» на Вашем приложении жалоб, о том что там порно, наркотики, секс, насилие и нарушение интеллектуальной собственности. И гугл удалит приложение не разбираясь.
Конечно, же я написал в google play опровержение, как и в предыдущие 2 раза. Конечно же я заведу приложение снова, с другим идентификатором, как советует google play team, но около ста тысяч активных пользователей потеряно безвозвратно. Пока насладиться эротическим контентом, можно скачав плеер с https://github.com/recoilme/freemp. Обидно, google.

После регулярных проверок - команда Гугл плей установила, что мой аудио плеер содержит эротический контент (ну или продает наркотики несовершеннолетним)

Какой вывод? Любой конкурент может «накликать» на Вашем приложении жалоб, о том что там порно, наркотики, секс, насилие и нарушение интеллектуальной собственности. И гугл удалит приложение не разбираясь.
Конечно, же я написал в google play опровержение, как и в предыдущие 2 раза. Конечно же я заведу приложение снова, с другим идентификатором, как советует google play team, но около ста тысяч активных пользователей потеряно безвозвратно.
