Google's review is difficult, the account environment is suspicious, and the application code needs to be circumvented.
For most developers, getting their apps listed on the Google Play Store is no easy task. Google is very strict with the review of every app, from the developer account to the app code, which puts a lot of pressure on developers. In order to pass the audit efficiently, luck alone is far from enough, you must prescribe the right medicine and have a target.
The big focus of Google's review is on developer accounts. The account information must be kept clean and cannot be associated with any violating accounts, otherwise it is highly likely to be rejected. The login environment should not be underestimated. Google will also be on high alert if there is a hidden danger in the login environment. In order to avoid this risk, many developers will use isolation measures such as independent IP addresses and built-in anti-association browsers to ensure the security of the account environment.
In addition to the account environment, Google's scrutiny of the app code itself is also quite strict. If there is content in the app code that Google doesn't recognize or is potentially risky, it's usually rejected outright. Some developers will use technical means such as obfuscation hardening to process the code to avoid this risk.
App content is also the subject of Google's scrutiny. If the app contains content that Google doesn't allow, such as pornography, violence, gambling, etc., it's even more difficult to get moderated. In this regard, developers need to have strong technical capabilities to effectively harden the obfuscation of these contents.
How can I increase my chances of being approved by Google? Here are a few tips worth trying.
Account and environment optimizations. For account information, developers should ensure that the information is clean and cannot be associated with any violating accounts, otherwise it is very likely to be rejected. The login environment also needs to be isolated, using a unique IP address, a built-in anti-association browser, and other measures to avoid association with other accounts to the greatest extent.
Optimize the app package itself. In terms of code, developers can use technical means such as obfuscation hardening to deal with risky code to avoid being identified by Google. In terms of content, if the app contains content that Google doesn't allow, developers also need to circumvent it and make sure the content is clean and harmless.
Also be extra careful when filling out the Google review form. Developers should truthfully fill in the application description, screen recording video, SDK usage and other content, without any omissions, and at the same time fully display the various functions of the application, and there can be no fluke. If the form is rejected, the developer should also carefully review the reason and correct it accordingly according to the prompts.
In order to pass Google's review efficiently, developers need to do their homework in all aspects, from account information to app code, content, to form filling. This undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on developers, but only by doing so can they gain a foothold in the fierce app market.
