К сожалению пост будет без картинки, и не совсем о разработке.
Буду краток:
I update all artworks and app icon. Please let me know, is all ok now?

Приложение тут же попадает под некий фильтр, и количество новых установок сокращается с 5000/в день до 2000. Я предположил что речь идет об иконке. Иконка было взята отсюда, распространяется по лицензии Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) и судя по тексту лицензии разрешается ее использования для некоммерческих целей. Впрочем, иконка явно несет некий трибьют к иконке winamp и, дабы не гневить Гугл я в тот же день изменил иконку, отписавшись в гугл плей. Следующее письмо:

Вот так сюрприз, подумал я. Это явно какая то ошибка, о чем и написал в Гугл плей. Но видимо было уже поздно:
REASON FOR REMOVAL: Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy. Please refer to the IP infringement and impersonation policy help article for more information.
All violations are tracked. Serious or repeated violations of any nature will result in the termination of your developer account, and investigation and possible termination of related Google accounts. If your account is terminated, payments will cease and Google may recover the proceeds of any past sales and the cost of any associated fees (such as chargebacks and payment transaction fees) from you.
If your developer account is still in good standing, you may revise and upload a policy compliant version of your application as a new package name. Before uploading any new applications, please review the Developer Distribution Agreement and Content Policy.
If you feel we have made this determination in error, you can visit the Google Play Help Center article for additional information regarding this removal.

Какой вывод? Любой конкурент может «накликать» на Вашем приложении жалоб, о том что там порно, наркотики, секс, насилие и нарушение интеллектуальной собственности. И гугл удалит приложение не разбираясь.
Конечно, же я написал в google play опровержение, как и в предыдущие 2 раза. Конечно же я заведу приложение снова, с другим идентификатором, как советует google play team, но около ста тысяч активных пользователей потеряно безвозвратно. Пока насладиться эротическим контентом, можно скачав плеер с https://github.com/recoilme/freemp. Обидно, google.
