If you gonna put anything on Play store be careful about open sourcing your apps because the bad guys will take your code and package them with malware and will upload them under different names and icons. So then Google in their full wisdom will flag anything that contains that code, including your benign, clean and original app
- eikenberry 3y agoThat's a terrible practice by Google and makes me rethink my android usage. They should use the original as a guide for detecting these abuses early instead of just being lazy and stamping them all bad. How is Apple in this regard?
- weaksauce 3y agothey have a completely different paradigm. apple has a reviewer run the app and test it(with varying levels of competence). they also have a suite of static analysis checks to see if you are using any no-no apis or other things. they have a restrictive "does this thing solve a novel problem" to avoid 1000 flashlight apps.(which doesn't seem to work that well but it's been a while since I looked at it) google operates on the pay 15$ and then you can submit any app and if people report you enough it gets removed and your account gets flagged. they might have some static analysis tools like the oop said. but in general apple is restrictive by default and google is permissive by default.
- hyperhopper 3y agoAs a lowly person who only worked for Google for ~5years: How in the world did that get approved?? Why was age of code not one of the first things bright up in one of the many design reviews that this went through. Utterly shocking.
