Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com June 28 news, a programmer posted on the V2EX forum that his App developed with the open source framework uni-app was removed by Google Play because uni-app 's own SDK contains "built-in ability to download APK" code that violates Google Play policy and advertises corresponding code.

CTOnews.com Note: uni-app is a framework for developing all front-end applications using Vue.js. Developers only need to write a set of code and publish it to iOS, Android, Web (responsive), and various Mini Program across platforms, reducing development costs.

▲ source V2EX as of press time, uni-app developer DCloud responded, saying that after communicating with Google Play, the problem was submitted to hello uni-app for application to Google Play on the evening of June 24th and was confirmed by audit and testing.

It is reported that the main reason why App was removed from the shelves is that there is code to install APK in DCloud SDK, and the current application audit requirement of Google Store is to "not allow apps to download APK directly for installation." previously, apps with "built-in self-download APK capability" (plus.runtime.install) could bypass the audit by "removing APK security permissions," but now Google has stepped up the audit, so these apps naturally cannot be launched through the app store.

DCloud said that in the future, they will separate the code to install APK as an optional module, which will not be included when packaged for Google Play channels.

Domestic developers can also choose whether to include this module or not. At that time, the jsapi of plus.runtime.install will always exist, but when the APK installation module is not packaged, calling install api to install APK will report an error-indicating that the module is missing.
