Google Play has recently tightened its restrictions on developer accounts. These changes are already resulting in the removal of non-compliant apps and the deletion of developer accounts. It’s crucial to stay updated with communications from Google and take prompt action.

New Verification Requirement

One of the key new requirements is the D-U-N-S number verification process. This is similar to what Apple Developer Organization accounts already require. Each account needing this verification will have a specific deadline. To avoid any issues, make sure to regularly check your emails or your Google Play Console for your submission deadline.

Keeping Your App Active

Google is also cracking down on inactive apps and accounts. An app is considered inactive if it hasn't had an update in a while. If it has been more than six months since your last update, we strongly recommend publishing a new version. Regular updates not only comply with Google's policies but also ensure your app stays functional and user-friendly.
