Google Play Store Publishing

Hello,

I’m having issues with publishing in Google Play Store Publishing

I’ve reviewed the guide a few times, but I couldn’t find an article that explains how data is being used by Adalo for Android:

There is an article for iOS which worked great! It would be really good to have something similar for Google Play Store.

In the meantime here is the reject reason:

Issue found: Invalid Data safety form

We reviewed your app’s Data safety form in Play Console and found discrepancies between it and how the app collects and shares user data. All apps are required to complete an accurate Data safety form that discloses their data collection and sharing practices - this is required even if your app does not collect any user data.

We detected user data transmitted off device that you have not disclosed in your app’s Data safety form as user data collected.

You must ensure that your app’s Data safety section accurately reflects your app’s data collection, sharing, and handling practices. This includes data collected and handled through any third-party libraries or SDKs used in your app. When available, we’ve included details on SDKs that contain code similar to the code in your APK that may be sending user data off device. You can check if your app uses any of these SDKs, but note that this list of SDKs may not be exhaustive. You must review and account for all data collected and shared by your app.

Issue details

We found an issue in the following area(s):

  • Version code 107: Policy Declaration - Data Safety Section: Device Or Other IDs Data Type - Device Or Other IDs (some common examples may include Advertising ID, Android ID, IMEI, BSSID, MAC address)

Could anyone please explain what do they expect me to declare?

Hello,

This means you have not filled the data safety form completely correctly. Probably because you don’t fully understand how one or more of the components you use works.

Check your app and confirm if there’s any feature causing users’ info to be shared with another platform or app outside your app usage.

It’s either you find a way to stop this or you declare in your data safety form that your app share information with third party

The only TPS my app shares info is Stripe and Adalo, Strype is declared… Adalo are using certain data types, this info is not available in guide for Google Play. But I’ve added device id, as I think that was the issue.

Adding device ID on the form fixes the issue right @Vladyslav?

Yeah it worked, thanks @dilon_perera
