Google Play is an essential distribution channel for overseas developers. In the past 12 months, 116 billion APPs and games in Google Play were downloaded by 2.5 billion mobile devices. On November 17, the second day of the Google Developers Conference 2020, Google explained in detail its policy update and other related information of Google Play 2020.
It is very important for developers to comply with Google Play policies, because they can be affected in different ways once there is a violation. It is important to emphasize that Google Play violations can be accumulated. High-frequency and minor violations can result to account blockade; once an account is closed, no new accounts will be allowed to be opened.
As a whole, Google Play's policies are divided into two main categories: Developer Distribution Agreement and Developer Content Policy, which are updated at least three to four times a year.
