Android Question Why your apps are removed from Play Store

I want to learn from you because I looked at the "Share your creations" section and many apps are no longer on Play store.
How can avoid this situation? Removed by yourself or by Google?
Why your apps are removed from the store?
For now, I have just 2 apps (in Malagasy, our language, sorry) in the store (link) but later, there will be more.

Google changes the conditions all the time.. then keep your eyes there (or better keep looking B4X forum) to follow the updated rules

Google are a nightmare. When I first released Invaders I called it "Space Invaders 2017" and they accepted that, then I got a warning months later saying it was too close to a known game name, so I changed it. Then six months later I get another warning saying I can't mention other games in my description, so you can't have "based on the Space Invaders arcade game".
Policies change all the time, all you can do is keep pushing and make sure you change things quickly when you get a warning, they'll normally react quickly and you can keep it on the store if you do as you're told.

I think it's even worse on IOS. For example you can't put "free" in your app title anymore to indicate it's a free version of a (originally payable) game.

It'll be difficult if I have many apps, for now It'll be manageable. For my Malagasy apps, apps/games names will not be so common.
Thank you.

Click to expand...
iOs will be a next step for me... I don't have yet an developper account (costly...???). May be if I have more apps, I'll plan to port or create some iOs apps/games.
But thank you, I know it now.
