This process needs to be far simpler. If google emails people telling them that the data their app collects doesn't match up with their records then surely it should be possible for google to automate this process and let devs get on with making their apps
Totally. I have spent days trying to figure out what they want checked. :We found something that doesn't match". What is it? "Read the policy, then navigate these obtuse questions." Not everyone is trying to scam, Google. HELP US.
Please fix developer support. We work for months developing apps. And you just send templated emails for policy violations. This leads to a lot of frustration and helplessness. Please send personalized emails. Thank you.
WTF: "Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types? We select No"... and he completely skips the form. Lol, this is not useful at all. The "Action Required: Your app is not compliant with Google Play Policies" emails are the worst feedback I have ever seen. We always get the "we have detected data sent from your device that is not included in the User Data security form" email, but they don't say which data is actually missing so every time we have to check the policy, update the form, send it and... get it rejected without any feedback on the actual data. So frustrating.
Very silly form. I select the option saying that my app doesn't use any user data at all, clicks through the next two screens, and then can't go any further. I go back to the app content screen, and it thinks I haven't filled out the data safety form, even though I just did. I guess Google has some work to do here. Meanwhile, I haven't completed the "privacy policy" either, because it's ludicrous to fill out a description of how we handle data, when it's a trivial app which doesn't even access any. Writing the policy is straightforward enough, but I don't have a good site to put the URL at. Google should just let me put the content of the policy into the form, and host it themselves.
why do i still get the "Remember to complete your Data safety form by July 20th" message in my inbox. while i already filled the data safety form since the first time my app deployed back in Feb 10, 2022 ?
@@swancollective The same as mine. i already filled the data safety form since th time i setuped for my app. Because there is nothing at "action needed" tab so show we update anh submit again or just do nothing?
Hey google, my app is using bluetooth support and for that you made precise location as a necessaity. Than why do I have to declare it as a permission, we don't need it the android architecture need it.
We share OTP to a third party (Twilio) who can actually deliver the OTP to the phone number. Should I declare the phone number as having "Shared" with third party or not? Is it exempted? Bit confusing.
@@pamtherealtor9802 not yet, i filled again, 1 month ago, i hope in the next update i dont have the same problem....if i have the same problem i will send email to google about that
Hi, I'm Diego, from Brazil. I have a problem! in the plya console. my apk is working normally when I install it on my phone. I launched it on the play console, on google play.. it does the installation, but it doesn't open, it doesn't create an icon.. after having downloaded and installed it. did information to uninstall .. or install ... the word abri, does not appear in the google play store. help me!!!
In your app gradle file make "minifyEnabled true" to "minifyEnabled false" and make new release in google play console. I had same problem and it fixed my issue, take care))

(Every 2nd week a new form to fill in, a new declaration to make. More time wasted we could better use fixing bugs.)
I'm not the only one ! I'm making android apps recently and I'm experiencing the pain, it's insane the amount of forms to fill
Google documentation is really ridiculous, why don't provide samples?
Its really true. Google likes bother people.

so bad thing. google rejects our form and no information what's wrong.
