Yeah that's me :(
You always read about these stories and think "they probably deserved it" and then it hits you.
I have no idea why Google thinks my app is "Stalkerware". This is like a bad dream I'm hoping to wake up from.
I think this is "automation gone wrong".
My apps are privacy friendly, have no ads, and most are even open-source, e.g.:
https://github.com/d4rken-org/sdmaid-se
How do you formulate a reasonable appeal without knowing anymore details. I've been formulating an appeal texts the whole day, but don't know what my argument should be. Saying "my app isn't Stalkerware" probably doesn't cut it. I fear this is my first and only step.
Some similar apps also got banned, but others didn't. I don't see a pattern yet.
If Google thinks a certain type of app is no longer welcome in the store, then that's their choice. But then they should communicate that instead of banning me without warning, and banning me for LIFE from selling my own apps...
Any advice? I feel so lost :(
