Tell HN: Play Store submission review is broken

1 points by TrianguloY ↗ HN
I uploaded a new version as beta, and was allowed and published as expected.

Then I promoted it as stable version, rollout release at 10%, ok.

25%, ok

50%, ok

100%, ...

... Your app is not compliant, it wasn't published (but apparently it is??)

The version is literally the same, and the app doesn't change its behavior depending on time or anything. I have the theory that their automatic review system checks some random issues at any upload, so everything is fine until it randomly fails.

Oh,and the non-compliant is because I didn't provide login credentials, on an app that doesn't have any login at all, just a search-like feature. But don't worry, it happened in the past with the donation version (which is the same app with a different color) and just submitting a message with a sample search query triggered the "ok" automatic review system.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
