Google Play Store review process is a joke

[MacroDroidDev]

I am pleased to report after my last video, tweak to my policy declaration and some interaction via a Google Play Twitter account (a few DMs back and forth), I have been accepted for these permissions again. It's great new for now but a worrying indication of future problems to come I fear. Anyway, I will worry about those later and take this victory!

Hey @MacroDroidDev , please try this email to speak to real people:
googleplay-developer-support@google.com

This is what my company's Android devs use. They say a response may take 3-4 days. There is nothing to lose.

Currently I have 252 macros in Macrodroid . I need your app.

I appreciate that info, I will store it for the future because no doubt I will need it again at some point!

Glad to hear this. Congrtazz Jamie!!
Did they approve to you for this video?:

@RangleB There is no transparency in the review process so it's impossible to be entirely sure why it was approved this time and not before but I will assume this new video helped....

I am thinking to try again at some point but I can't take the stress right now and once it gets rejected it really screws up review times for subsequent releases so maybe something I will try when I go on my summer holidays!

Yes. These anticompetitive behaviours are illegal. Lots of countries round the world have been suing Google left, right and centre and winning.
