One of our apps has been removed from Playstore by Google.
//Sent by Google Play Team
REASON FOR REMOVAL: Violation of section 4.3 of the Developer Distribution Agreement.
We classify a user’s contacts as private and confidential information. Apps which upload a user’s contacts to a service without making this clear to the user and obtaining the user’s explicit consent are regarded as being in violation of section 4.3 of the DDA.
We are getting contact information from users phone and sending the list of contacts to our server through an HTTP API. However at the server we are not storing any of those information and using only for some complex operations.
4.3 DDA agreement says we should have a separate user-agreement and opt user to agree to those Terms & Conditions.
Can we solve this problem by have a separate EULA and prompt user to agree upon those ? Please let me know the right solution because I don't want to risk my client's developer account getting deleted.

I need to make around 1000 android apps with same code base but different names, logos, splash screens,images . using android library will solve the issue? One google developer account is sufficient?
Google has recently cracked down on template apps, and you will likely have apps rejected and get your account banned if you attempt this under a single account:
Apps that are created by an automated tool, wizard service, or based on templates and submitted to Google Play by the operator of that service on behalf of other persons are not allowed. Such apps are only permissible if they are published by an individually registered developer account belonging to the user of the automated tool, not the operator of the service.
You may be able to make this work for now if you create a new account for each app that you publish; however, there is no guarantee that Google won't change the Play Store terms of service to prohibit this as well.
It is not a good practice to do so.
If each app uses the same source code but different ressources, you should offer customization options within the main app.
You won't have good dev feedbacks by polluting the market this way.
With customizations, you can reach as much users as you would with a 1000 apps, because you could meet their needs properly.
Take a look at Inn-Apps billing in the official Android developer documentation...

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 received an email from Google
Policy issue: Google Play requires developers to provide a valid privacy policy when the app requests or handles sensitive user or device information. Your app requests sensitive permissions (e.g. camera, microphone, accounts, contacts, or phone) or user data, but does not include a valid privacy policy. Please resolve this issue by January 30, 2017, or administrative action will be taken to limit the visibility of your app, up to and including removal from the Play Store. Thanks for helping us provide a clear and transparent experience for Google Play users.
I've searched for a privacy policy that contains camera section but i had no result from stackoverflow or from google. I also downloaded 9 apps but not a single app in Google Play that uses camera has privacy policy. I started to think that they made this up to torment me:) What should i write to camera section inside the privacy policy, i would be grateful if anyone possess privacy policy can share.
I tried iubenda and some other sites too. This is my last resort not a quick answer request. Thanks in advance.

I am unable to access my Google Play Developer account since this morning. I had three apps which were running smoothly until today. But now, none of them are in Google Play listing. Can someone help me out on how to resolve this issue?
I tried contact Google but got no response. I also tried to submit an appeal but no response again. I would be very grateful to someone who's got an answer for my query. This is what my error message says
Google Developer accounts can only be reinstated if they were disabled by mistake. If your account was disabled due to a violation of Google's Terms of Service, it's no longer eligible to be reinstated by Google's support team.
When your developer account is terminated, you'll no longer be able to publish new applications. You shouldn't attempt to register for a new Google Play Developer Console account since Google can no longer accept applications from you. This means that any related accounts are also permanently suspended, and any new accounts that you try to open will be terminated without a refund of the developer registration fee.

I was wondering if I ever need to collect any kind of user data (like their location, which I don't think I should collect now, their IMEI, their google account, app usage time etc), then how much of it I can collect without doing so illegally.
I know there will be issues with all of them, but since I couldn't find any document or question on SO, addressing this topic, telling me what kind of data I can collect, I am here with a question.
Hope to get nice answers.
Wish to mark it as a community wiki.
Without the user knowing it?
NONE.
