You have to supply Play with a working test account for the review process. They didn't.
Briar has more than 500k installs according to its Google Play page. Why do Google need to remove the app entirely if they've previously accepted and published it? I can understand not allowing an update without the proper review process using a working account, but what's the reasoning behind removing the old version that Google allowed just because they can't review an update? That makes no sense.
- matwood 5y agoExactly. Unless the app is malicious, Apple tends to force changes during an update. Google appears to have turned on some algorithms in the last couple weeks, and is pulling apps down without warning. Then, this new review process appears to be really poorly run which makes it hard to get the app back in the store. Also, the developer console itself keeps getting redesigned making it hard to find where to put these new bits of information.
