Issue: Violation of Device and Network Abuse policy

[dale c]

What do i do ? Publishing status: Rejected After review, your app has been rejected and wasn't published due to a policy violation. If you submitted an update, the previous version of your app is still available on Google Play. Reasons of violation Issue: Violation of Device and Network Abuse policy We don’t allow apps that interfere with, disrupt, damage, or access in an unauthorized manner the user’s device, other devices or computers, servers, networks, application programming interfaces (APIs), or services, including but not limited to other apps on the device, any Google service, or an authorized carrier’s network. Your app shouldn’t access or use the service or API in a manner that violates its terms of service. For example, your app shouldn't download, monetize, or access YouTube videos in a way that violates the YouTube Terms of Service.

Next steps: Submit your app for another review 1. Read through the Device and Network Abuse policy and make appropriate changes to your app. 2. Make sure that your app is compliant with all other Developer Program Policies. Additional enforcement could occur if there are further policy violations. 3. Sign in to your Play Console and submit the update to your app.

Hey you have send the unsigned apk file: http://prntscr.com/o3pf7s I just tell you to generate .apk file this is not the right file to upload on  android playstore.

Hey this error occur because of version confliction means if your app current version will be 0.0.2 then other if you want to update your app in google play store then you should update this version like 0.0.4. like if you want to upload a video then upload that video in media drive:http://prntscr.com/o5tdlq here is the link this link is used in src http://prntscr.com/o5te09 <">[iframevideo]<iframe src=’link with wp-media’ width=’560′ height=’315′ frameborder=’0′ allowfullscreen=”> </iframe>[/iframevideo] Also make sure your unit type is set to video.

Please solve the initial problem above with the policy violation . there was something about youtube video is playing on the background , which violates app store youtube policy , It must be paused  when phone is idle or user is using another app ( it must not play in the background) thats what i gathered from research   please explain in full

Well we are not doing any kind of privacy or policy violation with our app . We are opening the videos embedded using youtube or vimeo using iframes in app which you can clearly see in this code : http://prntscr.com/o6gnnc there is no code written to download any kind of file except the images (we cache the images loaded in app to load the app faster ) . Please show our reply to google app review team .This should be definitely some kind of mistake from their end  

[dale c]

could it be a problem with the inappbrowser version im using with ionic ?

[Harry]

i recommend to download this version of in-app browser plugin cordova plugin add [email protected]
