Update Android App on Google Play after it has been removed

Question

How can I update my Android app on Google Play Console after it has been removed by Google for violating permission policies? Is there any way? I mistakenly ignored the emails sent by them for updating the app before the 9th of March. Here are screenshots of my google play console

Answer 1

You can see the reason or policy violation in play console. I think it's under alert options in Play console. please check it, correct it in the app. then update your version code and version name, the sign your app, publish it again. Go to your app in play console, then select App releases under Release management then click manage in production -> create release or publish it as beta, after get approved from play console, publish it as production. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Recently, Few of my apps which were using SEND_SMS permissions have been removed from playstore. Now you can do two things:

1. If your app relies on SEND_SMS permission for it's working, then you need to submit a permission declaration form with relevant information. Find it here

2. Remove these permissions if are not very much needed, then simply upload your app to playstore.

You'll be guided for the same when you'll push a new update on Google play console.
