| Google killed my dev account because of repetitive content Posted: 14 Dec 2019 07:45 AM PST Can anybody help me with advice and/or by reading my piece on Medium? My Google Play developer account was terminated because of the repetitive content policy. Some years ago I developed an app so kids can have a bar code scanner cash register when they are playing shop: Little Zebra Shopper (zebra because of the bar codes). I made a paid version as well as a free one with iaps. Later I made some special editions of the app together with a guy who sells little pretend groceries. All was swell and happy until a couple of weeks ago Google decided the apps were in violation of the repetitive content rule. Because of the nature of repetition, I immediately also was in breach of the multiple strikes rule, which got me banned. u/sylsau, who has survived a Google Play ban recommended me to make an article on Medium and a post here. Thanks! Does anyone have extra advice? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Dec 2019 10:41 PM PST There is a reason Android used to have a compact with devs - "old apps will continue to work on new Android versions". However a change from Google is now putting already earned revenues of developers at risk. Some executive unfamiliar with how things mesh together has decided they are going to scrap that - and thus we started to get the categorization of Call/SMS as now requiring the new CALL_LOG permissions group (appeared to the world during the 2018-2019 holiday season). And we are now witnessing the eclipsing of storage - so formerly persistent storage becomes non-persistent or saved in sandbox folder. Since I have already pointed out that Google's use of the forced targetSdkVersion requirement is also another such break - which essentially forces developers to support their apps forever (slave labor ?) - esp given that Google's policy on removing apps is not clear (I have earlier commented on how unpublished apps have been banned - despite a claim to the contrary by a Googler). This naturally leads us to the question - what happens if a developer stops updating their app ? Even if app is not banned by Google, just the Storage change with Scoped Storage will make apps behave differently in the future (persistently saved files will be saved in app-specific sandbox). Who will cover for the refunds that will be generated by disgruntled users ? If Google had stuck with it's earlier compact, this issue would not have arisen (probably why they had constructed that compact in the first place). But some newer generation of executives have seen that compact as frivolous perhaps. But it raises the issue - should developers be penalized by users asking for refunds for past purchases because apps stop working as before ? Since this is a unilateral step by Google - without consulting developers - or informing future purchasers of android products - some of the downsides of this decision should be borne by Google. Google makes such decisions with abandon precisely because they have mistakenly seen it as a Google prerogative - with no apparent cost to Google. But when you start to factor the risk of refunds, it paints a different picture. [link] [comments] | ||
| Android System WebView update deletes localstorage and websql Posted: 14 Dec 2019 07:46 AM PST Hi all! Just to inform you. If you have an app that uses webview and you use localstorage or websql, chances are high the your app currently lose all stored appdata. Mostly this is when you as a cordova app, which uses per default this webview. My app currently get review bombed with 1-star ratings because all users lose currently all stored data. The cause is the latest Android System Webview update, which has been released with chrome 79 and is currently rolling out. As far as i know, we as a app developer cannot fix this issue on our side, without using another storage method than localstorage or websql. Seems to be a big issue with countless apps and users affected. For me this horrible. My app can never restore the currently lost repution and many users uninstall the app right now. Bug report related to this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1033655&q=component%3AMobile%3EWebView&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified [link] [comments] | ||

| Why is my app in the playstore still on "Coming Soon" ?? Posted: 14 Dec 2019 05:27 AM PST Hey there, this is my first app, so I'm inexperienced. I'm about to publish my app, so in the Play Console I made a production track and uploades my aab file. My problem now is that if a google account isn't a BETA tester you can't download the app, there is also no sign that google is still checking the app. If I go to my app overview it shows my app is published. Here is the link to the playstore page if this might help. Thank you for your help :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Best Android Emulator for developing Posted: 14 Dec 2019 03:56 AM PST Hi, I'm currently using Android Studios own Emulators and tbh, they are laggy and slow. Do you have some other recommendations? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 14 Dec 2019 01:19 AM PST Hi all, I wanna develop an android tv app that streams some videos or images stored in the cloud, but i'm not sure what's the best solutions. For the cloud-side, i'm pretty confident to use amazon aws s3 storage, but for the client-side I dont know if its better to go full-native with an android app that makes http calls (to retrieve videos and images) and then display the medias. Or with the alternative of an android app with WebView, so I dont need to publish android app updates. What would you suggest? [link] [comments] | ||
| Audience Network Quality Check is in progress, what after? Posted: 14 Dec 2019 01:05 AM PST My question is will it affect the revenue after Quality check is passed? Because it says 51 days left to finish. What was your experience? Another unrelated question, did your revenue from Admob drop drastically starting September? My CTR went from 1.5%-2% to only 0.4% and eCPM dropped like crazy, from $2.5-$3 to only $0.4-$0.5, I then switched to MoPub for mediation, and completely switched off Admob. What do you think must be the reason? [link] [comments] | ||
| How to force Admob to load interstitial ads in landscape only? Posted: 14 Dec 2019 12:50 AM PST It's kinda frustrating and it's a bad UX when the app is in landscape only (restricted from manifest), then baaam... the interstitial ad is loaded in portrait. The user has to rotate his phone into portrait and see the ad and click it if it's interested. [link] [comments] | ||
| Non-programming job for mid/senior level dev? Posted: 14 Dec 2019 12:45 AM PST Let's say I was a mid-senior level Android dev with a decent resume. Let's also say that I enjoy talking to people and people seem to like me. Let's say I didn't want to code anymore and I wasn't interested in managing people. What are some job titles to look into? Tech sales and business analyst come to mind. I enjoy discussing and architecting projects, and teasing out requirements. Are there any other titles I should research? Thanks in advance!

| How to use Robolectric to test a web page being opened from a button click? Posted: 13 Dec 2019 04:30 PM PST I wrote the following bit of code to open a url on the phone's browser on a button click I am trying to write a Robolectric test which will pass only if the desired web page is open, but am not sure how to do this. Is this possible? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Dec 2019 09:42 PM PST I'm looking to test an app idea and looking for an open-source app that simply a user will create an account, then create a new ticket, then I answer it, then the user can comment on my comment then I comment on their comment haha and so on. A user is able to create many tickets and each ticket will have a different number. The app idea is simply I answer my students' questions thought an app. Any open-source code I can modify and use for this task? I don't code but I will find someone who can help to modify it. I will have around 20 new tickets every day by users. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Dec 2019 01:50 PM PST What are a few popular forums or boards for Android Game Developers, especially for posting your games for other forum members to see and/or review? Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Dec 2019 10:59 AM PST This morning I woke up to a series of emails from many different users who opened my app and discovered that their saved game files were deleted. Is there some new change rolling out across Android? Has anyone else encountered this type of issue all of a sudden with no app updates? Note that my game is built with HTML5 and uses localStorage to save game files and that's been working fine for years. I'm definitely going to migrate the data to a more robust storage mechanism now, but I'm just not sure what is going on. [link] [comments] | ||

| How to catch a java.io.FileNotFoundException exception thrown by W/MediaPlayer? Posted: 13 Dec 2019 02:48 PM PST I'm developing a personal streaming app and have everything built, I was planning on loading the videos on a third party website inside of a WebView however the videos never load. Inside the logcat i get the error thrown above however the resolved link contained in the log plays no problem in the browser on both phone and PC. Is there a way to get the link from the exception so that I can handle it directly? [link] [comments] |
