- Google developer account Terminated ^Closed

sanjeev kumar filed this complaint against Google on Nov 18, 2018

Resolution Demanded:
Replaced

I published an app recently to the Play Store. The app itself is open sourced.

However * days ago, Google terminated my account for “prior violations” which I had been emailed about. I got no such emails.

So I filed an appeal and said that I did not get any violation emails, and the Play Console service replied that my account was terminated because of my association with other developer account which violated the terms of Google Play.

(mail from google)
(Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Google Play Team.

After review of your appeal, we’re unable to reinstate your developer account.

Your Google Play Developer account has been terminated due to multiple violations of the Developer Program Policies by an associated Google Play developer account. We’ve reviewed and confirmed this association.

Google Play Developer account terminations are associated with developers and may span multiple account registrations and related Google services. Do not attempt to register a new developer account. Any new accounts will be closed and your developer registration fee will not be refunded. We recommend that you use an alternative method for distributing your apps in the future.

Thank you for your understanding.)

Here is the thing though, This was my first ever Android app that I uploaded to the Play Store and I have never used a developer account before. I told them as much and they refuse to give me any other information.

So yeah, I don’t know what to do now. Is this end for me? Should I quit android development altogether?

after all this i have read many articles on internet in which millions of developer are removed without any warning and google keep $** fees and does not refund i think this is a scam that google is organizing in back-end because if **$ is multiple with * million than it is ** million and google has removed millions of account by this process if you can help me in this than i will be thankful to you.
