14 this month Google developer agreement was updated again, have to say that the renewal speed of Google, Google, after all, on the one hand, the need for cooperation and developers to profit, on the other hand also need to ensure the quality of the platform at any time, as a platform and policy developers is that we discuss the most at ordinary times, all products are often off the shelves, serious developers account be blocked, That’s why we should be especially careful when Google has a new developer policy update.

Let’s take a look at the latest updates.

Misleading statement policy update

In fact, this is one kind of cheating. Since Google has mainly updated this note, there are a number of products that have similar situations recently, causing adverse effects on users. Google specifically states that the medical or health-related content or features provided by the app are misleading or potentially dangerous, that the app falsely claims to be affiliated with a government entity, or that it falsely claims to provide or assist in providing government services without proper authorization. Other than that, I’ve seen the biggest takedowns in deceptive conduct policies: apps that claim to offer features that are impossible to implement.

Google will check the application function, may be the first time you online there is no problem, but not prove the function of the current online are no problem, I hope you can understand this sentence, may one day Google said that your application has a problem, maybe just check your application to that day, so don’t be a lucky heart, we will strictly check their applications, for example, Some apps claim that they can provide insurance services, but actually only recommend insurance products on the market, like a shell, while specific orders and other services cannot be provided, which is a violation of the Developer agreement.

The metadata policy has been updated again

Metadata policy simple explanation, useless keywords piled up in the description of the application, not before and after the sentence, to put it bluntly is the amount of rub.

I think the main update this time is not to write user comments and praise sentences in the description of the application, because it can not be proved to be true, it can be regarded as false. In addition, keywords are piled up. I think the example on the official website of Google is very appropriate, which is an application about Dog. However, there are black dog, small dog, big dog and other keywords in the description of the app, which is useless to users, and of course Google does not allow it.

Advertising Network Certification

There was no such certification before, since it began to distinguish between children and adults, because advertising for children must be strictly audited, what kind of advertising can be put into? Google also gives a list of popular advertising platforms like Admob, AppLovin, etc., which are fine, but I can’t find Fb here. Isn’t FB allowed for children? I’ll leave that for discussion.

Related payment

The payment part emphasizes that we must use Google’s payment channel, no matter how much Google charges, since we put Google’s store, we must follow Google’s rules, do not think of cloud control to solve the problem.

In-app features that require payment must be stated in the app description, and if there is a virtual lottery, the probability of winning must be disclosed to the user. In addition to virtual goods, Google provides apis for physical goods, and apps can try to integrate the Google Pay API to sell physical goods. See Google’s documentation for details on this.

spam

Said the next major update, some application show opened a web site, then user register this website this application, the gain of this application is not allowed in Google, the first is the application of repetitive, commonly known as vest bags, mass production vest bag, don’t again now may not be detected, perhaps which day together is pulled from the shelves.
