A comprehensive technical and policy audit before your initial Google Play release. We audit Target SDK compliance, sensitive manifest permissions, reviewer access credentials, and Data Safety declarations to eliminate release rejections.
When you upload an Android App Bundle (AAB), Google executes automated static binary analysis. Mismatches between your compiled libraries, manifest permissions, and Play Console declarations trigger instant submission halts and policy strikes.
Google mandates that all new apps and updates must target Android 14 (API level 34) or Android 15 (API level 35). Outdated build configurations are blocked from rollout immediately.
Requesting high-risk permissions (like background location, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, or media access) without declared core functionality or video demonstrations results in automated rejection.
Bundling ad networks, analytics, or crash reporters without declaring their specific telemetry in the Data Safety form triggers automated binary scanner flags.
Our structured advisory is targeted at developers facing specific technical criteria, account hurdles, or policy deadlines.
Engineers publishing their first app on Google Play who want to avoid rookie mistakes, rejected releases, or account strikes.
Engineering teams updating existing codebases to meet Google's annual API level deadlines and foreground service restrictions.
Creators whose apps require login credentials and need guidance configuring App Access demo accounts that bypass OTP/SMS blocks.
Developers integrating AdMob, Firebase, AppsFlyer, or AppLovin who need to ensure data collection declarations match embedded binaries.
We establish exact deliverables and clear boundaries so developers know precisely what to expect from our advisory engagement.
Verification that your compiled AAB meets current Target API requirements (API 34/35) and complies with modern Android packaging rules.
Review of declared permissions to remove unused, obsolete, or high-risk access declarations that trigger mandatory policy reviews.
Cross-referencing embedded third-party SDKs against your Play Console Data Safety form to ensure advertising IDs, analytics, and crash data are declared accurately.
Configuring unrestricted test credentials in Play Console that allow human reviewers to test your full app flow without two-factor authentication barriers.
Verifying that your privacy policy URL is HTTPS-secured, active, and clearly references in-app data collection practices.
We audit build configurations and identify policy bugs, but writing application features or refactoring Gradle scripts remains the developer's responsibility.
We do not provide methods to bypass Google's static analysis or obfuscate prohibited third-party libraries.
We strictly refuse to audit apps violating Google Play content policies, such as malware, piracy, deceptive financial schemes, or impersonation.
We evaluate privacy policy text for compliance, but the policy must be hosted on your own domain or web infrastructure.
Our structured milestone-driven process ensures clear communication and measurable progress from day one.
We inspect your compiled binary, decompiled manifest, target SDK, and third-party dependencies for known policy triggers.
We catalog every tracking SDK and construct a field-by-field Data Safety declaration mapping for your Play Console form.
We verify test login credentials, bypass mechanisms, and ensure reviewers can evaluate full app functionality without blockers.
We deliver a clear remediation checklist and guide you through setting up a cautious staged rollout (e.g., 10% to 100%).
To maintain complete security and ownership of your developer account, you provide specific inputs while retaining administrative control.
The finalized application binary intended for submission, signed with your upload key.
A public web page disclosing developer contact info and specific data collection practices.
A working test username/password pre-populated with data, free of SMS verification or geo-restrictions.
Knowledge of external libraries used (ad networks, analytics, crash reporting, authentication providers).
Complete technical and policy audit completed within 48 hours; developer remediation and resubmission guidance delivered immediately.
Inspect target SDK, foreground services, and external dependencies.
Map SDK data collection and configure reviewer credentials.
Deliver comprehensive compliance checklist and submission roadmap.
Before a personal developer account can push an AAB bundle to production, Google Play requires at least 14 days of closed testing with 20+ testers. Our publishing audit ensures your Target SDK, permissions, and Data Safety disclosures pass automated scanners so your 14-day test proceeds without release halts.
A complete pre-release compliance package covering binary analysis, permission auditing, Data Safety synchronization, and reviewer credentials.
Transparent, direct answers regarding deliverables, limitations, and Google review evaluation.
We encourage all developers to review official Google Play policies and developer distribution rules directly.
Google's official repository of all developer program policies, spam rules, and privacy standards.
Google Play requirements for target API levels across new apps and existing updates.
Guidelines on providing demo account credentials and test data for Google reviewers.
