# Android Developer Needed - Google Play Compliance Update for Existing WebView App I'm looking for an experienced Android developer to update my existing Android application so it complies with the latest Google Play requirements. ## About the app The app is already published on Google Play and is fully functional. It is a **WebView-based application** that serves as a mobile version of my existing website. Most of the business logic, screens and functionality are provided by the website, while the Android app mainly acts as a wrapper and provides native Android features such as push notifications and Google Play distribution. This is **not** a new development project and no new features need to be added. ## What needs to be done Google Play has requested that the application be updated to comply with the latest Android requirements. The work may include: * Updating the target SDK and any required Android dependencies. * Making any changes needed to satisfy Google Play requirements. * Fixing deprecated Android components or libraries if necessary. * Ensuring the app builds successfully. * Testing that the application continues to function correctly after the update. * Preparing a release build ready for submission to Google Play. ## Requirements * Experience with Android applications and Google Play Console. * Experience updating existing Android projects created by another developer. * Ability to identify and resolve Google Play compliance issues efficiently.

Hi! App developers and publishers face devastating account suspensions and catastrophic revenue loss when Android applications fail to comply with updated Google Play Store API target requirements or policy guidelines. Delaying core target SDK upgrades creates security vulnerabilities, triggers policy warnings, and results in sudden app removal from search visibility across millions of devices. I will execute a comprehensive Google Play compliance upgrade and app optimization workflow to guarantee full store approval. Utilizing Android Studio, Kotlin/Java, Gradle build configuration updates (Target SDK 34/35 migration), and updated permission handling frameworks, I will resolve non-compliant API calls, update deprecated dependencies, and align privacy policy data safety declarations with strict Play Console standards. The result will be a fully compliant, production-ready AAB build package that passes Play Console submission checks with zero policy warnings, restoring your app’s store standing and operational peace of mind. Send over your current repository or APK/AAB files along with the Play Console compliance notice, and I will outline the update roadmap and begin implementation immediately.

Hello, I understand this is a compliance-focused update, not a rebuild — the priority is getting your existing WebView app aligned with Google Play's latest target SDK and policy requirements without disrupting the functionality that already works. My approach: Audit: Review current project, identify deprecated components, outdated dependencies, and specific Play Console compliance flags. SDK Update: Update targetSdkVersion/dependencies, refactor any deprecated APIs (WebView, permissions, notifications) to meet current Android requirements. Compliance Fixes: Address Play Store policy issues (permissions justification, data safety, background behavior) as flagged. Testing: Verify WebView rendering, push notifications, and core navigation remain fully functional post-update. Release: Prepare a clean, signed release build ready for Play Console submission. I have solid experience maintaining and updating existing Android projects built by other developers, with a focus on efficient, low-risk compliance fixes that preserve app stability. Best regards

Hello, this is a narrow maintenance job, but the real risk is not the target SDK bump itself; it’s the chain reaction across inherited dependencies, Play policy flags, signing, and WebView behavior after the update. I’ve worked on production systems where the important part is controlled change, not feature work. For an existing WebView-based app, I usually treat this as a compliance and release-hardening pass: identify the exact Play blocker, isolate deprecated components, verify build integrity, and test the native wrapper paths that can break even when the website remains unchanged. The closest relevant work in my background is Enterprise ProxyTool Client App and AI Translator Plugin, both of which required platform-specific maintenance, regression control, and release-oriented engineering in existing native clients. I typically separate the work into audit, remediation, validation, and release prep so the compliance fix does not turn into open-ended app churn. The main tradeoff is keeping changes minimal while still addressing anything Play will reject on the next submission. This kind of work needs to be stable in production, especially around notifications, permissions, and release signing. If useful, I can start by reviewing the Play Console notice and mapping the likely compliance surface before any code changes. Clifton

Hi, Looks like the main issue is making sure the existing WebView app still works after Google’s latest SDK and policy changes. Since the app is already live and only needs compliance updates, the work should be straightforward—just bumping the target SDK, fixing any deprecated APIs, and making sure the build pipelines are clean. I’ve worked on similar legacy Android projects before, though mostly with React Native. For WebView apps the tricky part is usually the native bridge or push notifications breaking after an SDK update, so I’d start by checking those first before touching anything else. The main unknown is whether the current WebView implementation uses any deprecated JavaScript interfaces or older AndroidX components. If those are still around, they’ll need replacement before the new SDK version can be set. Thanks, Denis.

The bottleneck is updating the existing WebView-based Android app to meet the latest Google Play compliance requirements. The root architectural cause is the app's outdated target SDK and dependencies causing incompatibilities with new policies. I will update the target SDK, replace deprecated libraries, and verify modifications against Google Play requirements. After ensuring the app builds cleanly, I will perform end-to-end testing of core WebView features and notifications. This will confirm compliance and readiness for seamless release updates Which specific Google Play policy changes have affected app compliance the most in your current version?.

Hello I reviewed your Google Play Compliance Update for App project and it stood out because Play Store compliance requires both technical changes and accurate store configuration to address policy or review issues without disrupting the existing app Problem Android apps can face Play Store rejection when target SDK requirements, permissions, privacy disclosures, data handling, billing, APIs, or store listing information do not match Google's current requirements Solution I can review your existing Android application and the Play Console warnings or rejection details, identify the specific compliance gaps, and implement the required code and configuration changes I can update target SDK and dependencies, review permissions and data handling, fix policy-related technical issues, update privacy or disclosure flows, and prepare the release build I can also verify the relevant Play Console declarations and test the app before resubmission Result You will receive a compliance-focused app update with the identified technical issues addressed and a properly prepared release for Google Play review A few questions What exact Google Play policy or rejection message are you receiving? Which Android and target SDK versions are currently being used? Is the source code and existing Play Console access available? Do you need only the technical fixes or also assistance preparing the Play Store declarations and resubmission? Thanks

My goal is to make this update as seamless as possible, so your app remains accessible to users and fully compliant with all current requirements. Looking forward to working with you to keep your app up to date and compliant. Best regards, DemiVision, LLC
