Android Dev account terminated after 12 years for violating “Stalkerware policy”
I am currently trying to release a new app in both app stores. The shit you have to jump through now is just ridiculous. I can&#x27;t wait for the EU to force alternatives and make both of them clean up their act.<p>I still find Google to be &quot;friendlier&quot; towards the development process but the amount of legal garbage has gotten out of hand.<p>At Apple things have gotten way worse. Trying to automate release building is practically impossible and will require hours or CI pipeline debugging with error messages that don&#x27;t mean what they say. At least Googles process is quite simple and can be dockerized.<p>Apple has also still not managed to get UTF8 right l. Every second Mail I get from them has my name fkdup. At least I can get into the development portal which a few years ago broke due to the umlaut in my name.<p>Also why do I have to pay Apple $125 a year when it costs $100 in the US? The exchange rate from CHF to USD should be in my favor.
