| I just got my account in google play store terminated. Is it just me or their process is just ridiculous:
1) You submit your application along with apk and screenshots
2) If you violate any of their long rules you get you application suspended and the auto generated reason for suspension doesn't include the place you are violating their rules(in my case, they claim that I am violating "Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy")
3) Here are the things that I wrote(description along with screenshots from my application and the apk https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lac0js8z648ini5/AACToioyJsHrwJEKt001t9bTa?dl=0#/ although it is too late now, reason follows
4) You can of course "appeal" their decision but don't expect much - I got an auto generated email stating "After further review, we are unable to reinstate your application. You can find out more information under Reason for Removal in the initial removal notification from Google Play.", so helpful, thanks. P.S. I am glad that I didn't lose more time with this application - it was built during the holidays. I am also glad that I am not relying on making money from that because let's face it, you might be violating something without knowing it and their is not a single warning, they just act and suspend your application without stating the place of violation |

I'm using the TMDb.org API for displaying actor and movie images which--in my understanding--is allowed if I attribute TMDb as the source. I did that in the settings/copyright section. There are also a bunch of other apps that use the same API yet they are still in the Play Store. I didn't make a single dime off of it and spent roughly 250h on it with all the fine tuning and third party integrations.
I responded and asked what exactly the issue is and got another generic response. At this point I was too afraid to write any more emails since I don't want to endanger my account.
