Google Play Developer Account Appeal Template Overview

"This is a notification that your Google Play Publisher account has been terminated." It can be said that many developers have received notifications starting with this one, which means that their Google Play developer account has been blocked again.

It is true that Google is increasing its monitoring and auditing efforts in all aspects, and its policies are also tightening. Many people say that once blocked, there is basically no hope. But since the appeal channel still exists, there is a reason for it! Appealing may be useless, but not appealing is definitely useless. Be prepared for the appeal and start with the appeal template.

Ⅰ. Appeal Template

1. Application issues

Dear Google Play Review Team,

Hello!

My name is [Developer Account Name] and my account ID is xxx.

At xx time, my app was judged as "xxxx", which led to my Google Play developer account being banned. After self-examination, I believe that the judgment was a misjudgment.

My product [App Name] is an XX type of application, the core of which is XX, and it does not belong to the category prohibited by Google.

The following is the SDK in my application, its purpose and code (attached with the SDK and its purpose, and then attached part of the code for proof.)

The above SDKs do not collect users' personal privacy data. This app will not collect or upload any personal privacy data.

We will comply with all Google Play policies more strictly and request the review team to review it again. Thank you for your review and consideration.

Sincerely,

2. Network issues

Dear Google Play Team,

Hello!

My name is [Developer Account Name] and my account ID is xxx.

Thank you for reviewing our app. Since receiving the notification, my team and I have been working hard to check any possible reasons that may have caused our app to fail the review.

Since we are a developer in mainland China, we want to release our great applications to the world so that all users can use them equally. However, due to the well-known force majeure factors of network restrictions in mainland China, we have to use other methods to access the network, so this may be identified as one of the risk factors.

My team and I promise to find a better and more stable network environment. We are a healthy developer team. We have spent several months checking this app. We hope you can review our developer account and app again. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Sincerely,

[name]

Dear Google Play Team,

Hello!

I am [Developer Account Name], and my account ID is [Developer Account ID].

Thank you for reviewing our application. Since receiving the notification, my team and I have been working diligently to identify any potential issues that may have led to the failure of our app's review.

As developers based in mainland China, we aim to bring our high-quality app to users globally for equal access. However, due to the well-known network restrictions in mainland China, we were forced to use alternative methods for network access, which may have been flagged as a potential risk factor.

My team and I are committed to finding a better and more stable network environment. We are a responsible and healthy developer team, and we have spent several months reviewing this app. We kindly request that you reconsider our developer account and app. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,

Ⅱ. Follow-up and prevention

1. Keep an eye on progress

After submitting the appeal materials, you need to wait patiently for the review results. The appeal process for many developers lasted a long time. Most of the successful appeals were after a protracted battle, and it is common to have repeated tugs of war for several months. Pay attention to official notifications and be prepared to continue submitting appeals. I hope everyone can receive the notification that their account is allowed to be restored.

2. Pay attention to policies

Pay more attention to the policy updates of Google Play, check your apps based on the policy information, and do a good job of updating functions and fixing vulnerabilities, so as to avoid being late for rectification due to information lag. Only by being fully prepared can you reduce subsequent risks.

3. Continuous anti-correlation

In addition to applications, account compliance and stability are also important. The most common problem is the abnormality caused by account association, and using IPFoxy's stable IP can greatly reduce the risk. It can meet the anti-association requirements in terms of purity, stability, speed and geographical positioning, providing an extra layer of security for the account.

Ⅲ. Final Thoughts

It is difficult to appeal a Google Play developer account, but there is still a possibility of success. Preparing the appeal materials and maintaining the account properly can effectively help stabilize and recover the account.
