New tools to help you build safer apps on Google Play

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

New Google Play Console features promise concrete fixes: a policy status page centralizes enforcements, shows the exact offending asset, and lets apps appeal and track decisions; a publishing overview plus manage publishing delays live changes until you push them; an early access Play SDK Console registers SDKs, reports SDK-level crashes, and already triggers inbox warnings and release‑time nudges for problematic SDK versions. Apps that share library dependencies (Android Gradle Plugin 4.0 or Android App Bundle) get targeted guidance; plans include public SDK destination pages with permissions, known issues, and compatibility data.
