I'm a person in charge of Android application operation.
Our team have the following two apps on one Google Play Developer Console.
These apps have same features excluding each datas.
- App A: Production app (public on the store)
- App B: Staging app connected to the database of staging server (unpublic on the store) ※App B is replicated from App A, so their features are completely same.
Please let me ask three questions below.
【1】 Is App B need to follow the google play policies? Do I need to fix App B every time when google update their policy?
【2】 Originally App B is the same application as App A, then does it mean the violation of the following policy “Impersonation”? https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9888374?hl=en&ref_topic=9969539
【3】 If there is a maintenance costs of【1】, and a risk of【2】, I think it would be better to request the deletion of the App B to goole play developer console. In general, "staging app” as this case is, How should we handle?
Please give us your opinion. Thank you.
