This is Dunang Studio. There are only three months left in 2023. From the beginning of the year to now, Google Play developers don’t know how many waves of “group destruction” there have been; in February this year, Google Play began to experience large-scale batch bans. At that time All parties predict that this phenomenon will not always be accompanied (it is believed that accounts will not be blocked continuously), after all, this situation has never happened; most developers agree that it is better to keep a low profile and avoid Google’s sharp period.
Most of the several waves of banned accounts in the first half of the year were historical accounts (before 2023), some of which were caused by account correlation and code correlation; during this period, most developers did not give up and were still reviewing , search for the reasons, and constantly carry out operations such as account anti-correlation registration, code isolation, obfuscation, etc. No matter how unlucky it is, the account will not be banned during the interrogation process.
The number of accounts being banned in large numbers only reached its peak in August. Before that, accounts were rarely banned directly during review.
Speculated reasons: Developers who took shortcuts frantically challenged risk control during the period from April to June and continuously exported models to Google, which led to another wave of system upgrades by Google on the eve of August. Due to the new system upgrade, all Models that are seen through will be killed instantly, which is why a large number of developers have their accounts banned directly during the review process.
What behaviors will lead to being banned from Google Developers?
- A large number of duplicate developer account registrations (found to be the same controller)
- Certain information in the developer account is associated with other developer accounts that have been banned or are likely to be banned.
- Duplicate applications, apps determined to be duplicates by Google system
- Malicious applications, fraudulent transactions, applications that violate relevant national laws and regulations (such as maliciously obtaining sensitive user permissions, illegal transactions, cashing out…)
- Inferior applications (complained by a large number of users, reported and complained by third-party organizations, etc.)
Based on the applications that are allowed to be put on the shelves, the most common reasons for account bans are the above. Of course, the most common reason is 123.
The above are the basic red lines for Google developers. If you want to know more about it, please browse our other articles by yourself.
