The perform shop does not run on my old devices, this led me accidentally cognition several joy during using Android.
I've lately aquired 10 identical android 6.0.1 phones. The scheme is to equip them alongside several sms gateway software and container them to several customers.
Because those phones are so old, I've had to improvise. And since I have 10 of them, I'm not too frightened of experimenting. It gave me a sensation of what a degoogled, compile-from-source android os is like. I'm starting to think I'd really bask using that.
I'm forced to choice lightweight apps since the os lone has 2gb of ram. They happen to be my favorite benevolent of app. I'm making my own (slop) apps whenever I can't discover exactly what I want.
This joyful fidling comes alongside a big let downward by google. I was expecting to publish my new equivalent on the shop and accusation for it, but their assessment procedure is so broken, I think I'll rod to fdroid and itch.io.
Google is simultaneously grabbing complete power complete app developpers alongside their latest monopoly consolidating move, and botching the assessment procedure to a flat I have never witnessed before.
Google never cared concerning my apps. The assessment procedure is humiliating, alien, infuriating. The reasons an app is rejected are never plainly explained. This has continually been the case, publishing mermaid gdocs years ago led me to the commencement of my degoogling journey.
I tried to recommendation my content publishing company Tabby on the perform store, but it was rejected. They attached a nsfw screenshot of several unidentified app. Google is litteraly sending me nudes a part of their assessment process. I appealed, stating that this had nothing to do alongside my app, and (as expected) the petition was rejected without expanation. Someone likely looked at the identical screenshot and thought, "yep, that's motionless p0rn"
I doubtful several of the automatic app listing translations they added contained a nexus to several dodgy website. I'm blocked from study the satisfied I submitted anyway, so I can't tell.Maybe they blended up apps during the review. Maybe they opened the incorrect content document in the editor. I don't know, I can't ask anyone, and any reiterate infringement can guide to a complete dev document deletion, so I volition not try to "debug" their assessment process.
I no longer care. Google is never pushing liberated apps forward. It seems beautiful apparent to me that counting on google is a bad idea. I'll keep construction tools and game, and portion them to the group that are brave adequate to project exterior of the perform store.
Google, if you desire the exclusive power to gatekeep apps, you shoud do a much improved job of reviewing them.
