Play Console Q&A

What is a Play Console policy strike and how many can I get?

A policy strike is a formal warning Google issues when an app violates a Play policy, and strikes accumulate against the developer account. Enough strikes — or a single severe violation such as malware or fraud — leads to app removal and eventually account termination, which bans the underlying Google identity from Play permanently. Because every app on a terminated account goes down together, careful publishers isolate risk using the live-and-transfer model.
