Greetings to all developers. I'm writing this to tell you how Google terminated my three year old account with 1 million+ downloads.
I wanted to publish an app, a regular multiplayer game on Unity, of which I had a bunch on my account. But during the review, Google suspended this game due to "malware".
There was no malware in my game. I used Appodeal as an ad network, but that couldn't be the reason, all my games use it. I scanned the APK in VirusTotal, it didn't find anything malicious.
I made an appeal, but Google rejected it. I decided to move on, accepting the fact that this game will never be released.
But a few hours later, I got an e-mail. The account has been terminated completely. I suspect this is because this suspend was the third one on my account, but after all, I didn't have any malware in my game and it wasn't even published yet.
All of my games had over a million downloads together. I'm just saying that big companies can just destroy three years of your hard work because they think some of your game has “malware” in it.
