Because of Google’s banning policies, many Android developers are banned for life. Sometimes, if your account has been closed once due to mistakes you made unconsciously, you can no longer become an Android developer due to the Google monopoly, and you will not be able to publish the applications you have made. Because the vast majority of people download apps from Google Play. The service offered to you for a $ 25 developer fee is deplorable. Instead of suspending an application before it goes live, the user can be given a chance to fix it each time. Google is currently refusing applications instead of suspending them, giving the user a chance to correct. However, this is why the first users lost their accounts as scapegoats. Even Google can sometimes impose a lifetime ban on its user while it renews itself by learning from its mistakes. It is not understandable that a billion-dollar world-renowned company has such a bad reputation.


The problem here is not Google’s protection against policy violations, but the methods and business ethics it uses in doing so.
We are all human beings, we can make mistakes. When even Google makes mistakes, it’s natural for us to do it. That’s why we all have the right to open a clean page. If an application is suspended without being published, it is impossible for Google to suffer from this. The developer account of the developer who made an error 3 times is terminated for not being opened again. The developer’s name is being blacklisted. This means the end of your Android career, which you have worked hard for many years. It is difficult to find an alternative because of the Google monopoly in Android.
Google should reactivate accounts that have been closed for previous violations, offering a new opportunity for developers who are not persistent in their error.

This attitude of Google is driving developers away from Android development and poisoning the ecosystem.
