How do I remove all traces of an app after I uninstall it?
1 project | /r/androidapps | 7 Dec 2023

SDMaid SE is actually pretty great at what it does. Unfortunately, Google locked down a lot of file permissions on Android a few years ago and the usability of the app really started to suck.

How do you formulate a reasonable appeal without knowing anymore details. I've been formulating an appeals text the whole day, but don't know what my argument should be. Saying "my app isn't Stalkerware" probably doesn't cut it. I fear this is my first and only step.
Some similar apps also got banned, but others didn't. I don't see a pattern yet.
If Google thinks a certain type of app is no longer welcome in the store, then that's their choice. But then they should communicate that instead of banning me without warning, and banning me for LIFE from selling my own apps...
Any advice? I feel so lost :(
