Yesterday I put up my Android app on the Google play store. Today the app was removed from it without proper reason. Reason for suspension of app
REASON FOR REMOVAL: Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy. Please refer to the IP infringement and impersonation policy help article for more information.
Your app and/or elements of its listing on Google Play, including title, description, logo(s), or promotional screen-shots must not include unauthorized usage of protected works belonging to a third party.
Your app icon and promotional screen-shots must not contain images that appear confusingly similar to existing products.
My app name: Finger Scan Locker
icon and screen shots are desgined by our desginer.

I don't copy the icon and screen shots,that are developed by my designer.
This is my second app got suspended from Google play store with same reason.

As a comment says it might be your icon that is detected as an Apple IP infrigment because it is an iphone. Ask your designer how he did it.

So to make it clear my question has following points to make it more easy to understand.
if I publish an app on google play a very simple app which will take my users through dynamic link to an outside apk hosted on my website because my main app (on my website) clashes with google play policies. So I can't publish it on google play.
Will I be having any issue with Google policies if I publish such a simple app which doesn't really interfere with any google policies but takes my users to an app outside of play store which is not in line with google policies. Thanks!

hi my question is can i display cartoon (like tom and Jerry .etc) in my app and use ads but only if the
user is connected to internet because the default is that i target specific niche
for users who want to watch cartoons without internet access and also i'm providing
privacy policy and disclaimer in the app i saw many examples in play store in the
last 3 months and many of these apps has 100+ thousandth downloads so
is it ok am i break any of play store policies here or is it fine ..
It most certainly not fine.

I have a free app in Google store with ads.
I have received requests from users for a paid, ad-free version.
When I first uploaded the app to Google Play Store, it stated that if the app was free now it could never be changed.
My question is: Is it possible to have a paid and unpaid version of the same app on Google Play Store?
Change the package name and name of your app in AndroidManifest. Then it will be treated as another app.
You can offer some in-app purchases, like activation key to unlock additional features or access additional content. You do not need to replace all classes to have two versions, it may be enough to flip some boolean inside depending on how do you currently want it to be.

II've started to develop games for the giggle play store, and I'm a bit confused in the developer console. It requires you tocreate 5 achievements. Why is it that Google requires this? I can understand there use as maybe a way to track progress, but what if I don't want them in my application. I don't want to troll people if they check up on achievements and see that they never get one nor ever will. I just want to be able to not have them. Maybe just award all 5 when the first log in to Google? I don't want to have to deal with them. Is there a specific reason Google requires these?
Ok so I've found what I believe to be the answer. It says in that same line If you are between 13-17 it is for the SOLE purpose of google play purchasing. So google wallet cannot be used for earning money if you are below the age of 18. So if you want to make any money off of ads or purchasing of any sort you must either be above 18 or put the app up through somebody who is at least 18 or above.

My client who is a carrier (believe me or not), who is going to distribute a bunch of tablets is asking me to put free apps downloaded from Google Play into their custom firmware.
is it just simply about downloading the apks and put them in the system/app folder (as odex or as apk) ? we are not talking here about simply uncheking "unknown sources", it's just to confirm the process.
aren't there any permission or certificate related issues or google account enablement issues to make the apps work ? there could be r/w issues, or issues with tablets where a google account is not activated (does a preinstall app does a roundtrip with the market when it's starts and what is the google account is not activated?)
legally is it authorized to redistribute apps published on Google play from other developers without their consent, even if they are free ?
I think most of your questions are answered in the Google Play Terms
In short:
It is certainly technically possible to put the APKs preinstalled on the devices but you are not allowed to do so unless you get a separate agreement with all the app developers in question. If you get an agreement with them they can probably provide you with an APK file that you can preload in the custom firmware.
