New rules for publication of applications in Google Play Store

This week, Google updated the rules for developers to publish applications on its Google Play Store. List of changes is relatively small, but we have to admit that is useful. Rules tightened slightly, and developers need to adjust their already hosted applications to meet them within 30 days. Otherwise, they will be removed from Google Play.
An updated set of laws is primarily aimed at improving the quality of injected in Market applications. It seems that Google are serious about this issue and are more carefully moderated Google Play. Some things are now even resemble the rules for publication in the Apple Appstore.Icons / Names 

This is primarily directed against the not very conscientious developers who previously could profit at the expense of something not very experienced users. Now you can not use the similar icons and application names. That is, if you have an application that called it Angry Birdz, so that was like a big-name product Rovio, then such an application does not appear in the Market. Or, for example, if you draw an icon, which is painted company colors ebay and wrote obay, then again, Google's moderator drank your application from the Market. And rightly so!Payments 

All transactions are to be performed in connection with applications for Android, Google'vskuyu must use the payment system. Whether it is buying in-game or application or other payment. But this does not include the purchase of content or even more souvenirs and other products in third party stores.Spam 

In the descriptions of the applications do not use duplicate content, are prohibited from using long sets of keywords, they will now be screened for relevance to the application. In addition Google will more closely monitor the situation where the developers are trying to artificially screwed rating applications, and too aggressively forcing users to evaluate it in the Play Store. If the application is created with the help of some automated service generetsii applications, then pour it into the market can only be representative of the service, rather than any wish to do so. In addition, Google will deal with applications that are unfair to drive traffic to websites. If you try to fill in the Google Play to read some client site, you will be able to do it exclusively, or owner of a resource or a person who has received the appropriate approval of the owner.And most importantly - will be prosecuted to the application that send sms on your behalf, without requiring evidence of the latter's content and its message to the recipient.Privacy 

Google has once again made it clear that they are against viruses, backdoors and other malicious nastiness, and tried to do some new steps in this direction. Now the application can not receive any information about the user and transmit it elsewhere without permission and confirmation.Advertising 

That's where all good fellows, and Google decided to do a fairly tough. If your application contains advertising, now and for that you are responsible. If the earlier application was shown something inappropriate, which could result in some problems for the user, then it is usually in charge of the advertising network. Now ask even with a developer who has contacted the unscrupulous partners.
