Google.... Autofill & Logo

[zeapo]

Today I've got two new issues with Google Play Store:

• We are asked to remove android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE as we're not helping "users with disabilities"
• We are "impersonating" an other application Lock App Lock Security Privacy

For the first part, I've just made an appeal, I have 30 days before the application is unpublished.

For the second one, can somebody make us a good logo? :)

By the way, I'm opening an appeal for the second issue also, as the icon has a CC license: https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/306924/lock_password_protect_secure_icon#size=128

Working on some ideas for the logo. I'm trying to keep the same colors so that it is still recognizable, but it looks off to me. It's meant to be the Git logo with a password box for a keyhole over a padlock. I'm not much of an artist, but I think it's a workable concept.

As for the accessibility issue, I read about the change in policy this morning, which is what lead me to this issue. Unfortunately, I am almost certain that the appeal will be rejected.

It's pretty certain that the appeal will be rejected... (For the permission)

Isn't Lastpass using the same mechanism?

Seems like #293 will come back to life :)

[c4software]

@zeapo Yes but dev are said the mechanism will be different in the next version.

@shgysk8zer0 I like it!

@zeapo What are the size / margin / border-radius requirements for icons?

I see icons in app/src/main/res/drawable-*dpi/ic_launcher.png and have exported to those sizes. xxxdpi icon is missing and I can generate that if given the size that it should be.

Seems the app just has to explain prominently in description and some other places why it needs BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE

I don't think it's enough: - "you must explain to users how your app uses accessibility to help users with disabilities" - "accessibility should only be used to help users with disabilities" Le 13 nov. 2017 12:13 AM, "Matthew Wong" <notifications@github.com> a écrit : discussions https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/7c47mf/playstore_ accessibilityservice_valid_use_cases/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7cfldu/google_is_threatening_to_ remove_apps_with/ https://www.xda-developers.com/google-threatening-removal-accessibility- services-play-store/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7c4go5/is_ google_play_really_going_to_suspend_all_apps/ Seems the app just has to explain prominently in description and some other places why it needs BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

So, here's the thing... I do not have the time to make two flavors of the app... if anybody is ready to take this, then he has to do it fast ... The deadline is in 24 days or so.
