Google Play 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.

Own a Google Play developer account?

ConsoleMint is an app monetization company: it builds Android apps, publishes them, maintains them and monetizes them with in-app advertising, then shares the ad revenue with the publishing partner whose Google Play account distributes them. Developer-role access only — never owner access, never a password — revocable with 30 days notice.
