A story about how a kid who was making an Android app got kicked out of his room by Google #Individual Development – Qiita

Google is seriously crazy about this. It’s just crazy. Is it the idea that developers’ security can be at any cost in order to protect the security of app users?
How is Google going to take responsibility if some crazy idiot goes after a publicly available address?
On top of that, Google takes a 30% commission on in-app purchases. Seriously, that’s crazy.
Considering the issue of newly registered developers being required to have 20 testers, which became a hot topic last year, it seems that Google just wants to exclude individual developers.
