Ting 이네 Software 이야기

This post is history of registering Android App to Google Play.

I hope that this post is useful to developers who has a plan to register App to Google Play.

I registered one free App. to Google Play and after some time - about a-week-after? - I received below E-mail from Google.

Issued application is the one below

YoutubeMusicPlayer-v1.3.0-2.apk

Main feature of this application is "making playlist of youtube videos and play those continuously without video (only audio) in background.

Actually at that moment, I didn't have any idea regarding what are problems.

So, some E-mails are additionally sent/received

Here is E-mail thread between Google and me.

Hi Google

I received below mail.

Could you describe details about the violations of application free.yhc.youtube.musicplayer.

Actually, I do not know what are issued points.

Thank you in advance and sorry for inconvenience.
