Policy-sensitive permissions without clear use case
Requesting sensitive permissions without explicit in-app value and disclosure can trigger review delays or rejection.
Troubleshooting
Common Google Play rejection reasons
Rejections usually come from predictable issues. If you catch these early during closed testing, your production path becomes much smoother.
Broken onboarding or login flow
If reviewers cannot sign in, verify account, or reach the core app flow, the release is often blocked.
Missing privacy and data handling disclosures
App behavior, permissions, and disclosure text must align. Inconsistencies increase compliance risk.
Critical unresolved quality issues
Crash loops, broken payments, severe navigation blockers, and hard-to-reproduce bugs are common rejection triggers.
Prevention checklist
Run a policy-aware preflight review
Audit permissions, disclosures, and user flows before final submission.
Ship with evidence
Maintain logs and structured testing reports to support your release decisions.
