플레이 스토어 - 앱 업데이트가 거부됨

 

개발한 앱을 플레이 스토어에 업데이트를 하였습니다.

그리고 몇 분후에 "앱 업데이트 거부됨"이라는 메일을 받고 플레이 스토어의 개발자 콘솔에 확인을 하였습니다.

해당 앱에 아래와 같은 Youtube 서비스 약관을 위반하여 앱 업데이트가 거부되었다는 내용이었습니다.

앱에서 Youtube Open API를 이용하여 리스트를 보여주고, 해당 Yuotube URL로 이동하도록 개발이 되어있습니다.

이전 버전과 동일한 로직인데, 이번 경우에서만 앱 업데이트가 거부되었네요.

(해당 버전 업데이트가 거부되었지만 이전 버전의 앱이 플레이 스토어에 표시되더군요.)

 

그래서 Youtube 관련 Activity를 삭제하고 플레이 스토어에 앱을 업데이트 후 몇 시간후에 위의 메세지가 사라졌습니다.

플레이 스토어 팀에 문의를 한 결과 앱 업데이트 거부 건이 지속될 경우 계정 정지가 될 수도 있다고 하네요.



아래의 내용은 플레이 스토어 팀에게서 받은 메일 원문입니다.
