The exact same thing happened to me last week
My ads-free really simple React Native app was removed from the play store for “deceptive ads”
I don't care too much as this was just a way to learn React Native for me, but it's still really weird
To be honest every interaction I have with Google products nowadays are bad:
- This app kicked from the Play store
- A bug with the new Adsense Auto-ads where you couldn't disable the giant ads that were added on your content without removing completely Google Adsense script, which I did
I'm now moving away from anything Google
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoCan apps be decompiled easily? I'd imagine one could download the app, report it for whatever (eg ads), wait for the automated system to remove it, then upload your own version (with ads, and what ever else). Or if not decompiled, perhaps you got spearphished for access to your apps code, or it was acquired some other way. Similar things probably happen as far as malicious reporting for sales platforms (like Amazon). If you 'steal' the product I imagine Amazon would even handover the original sellers good product reviews too.
