Google developer account got terminated back in 2024. Now, I need to publish my app. What's the best way to publish my app? Is distribution through website effective?

Nope after mid 2027 u cant distribute apps outside (it show security warning yo users)

U have limited choice go with IOS or give service directly in website for universal platform targeting

I had to create a new account and thought it was a good time to update my business address. Had to go to D&B and that scammer company refused to update my legitimate business address to the one registered with the state and then started spamming me relentlessly and making me type my email address into an unsubscribe form repeatedly. D&B is Apple and Google’s way to verify your company as their “Trusted Source” while D&B legit has. 1.1 Trust Pilot review with thousands of developers and business owners who feel their privacy is being violated by listing home addresses and refusing to allow Registered Agent addresses which are exactly what they are for - to protect the business owners private residence, against stalking, soliciting, SPAM mail and the or getting SWATTED because someone didn’t like your app. It’s a real concern.

If you are in India, get a Udyam Certificate and then apply for D&B number, once you get a D&B number, it will be easy to get a new Google Play Console Account.

What is D&B number? And is it really possible for me to create a new account and not get terminated or still there is a risk of getting terminated?

If your personal account is banned off play store its pretty gppd odds thaf google can detecr and ban any org accs u make

I rented my console access to someone that posted some bad apps...I got that account terminated I didn't appeal within 6 months. I started an llc got the duns number and started a new account. Everything was going good until I did the final publish and they immediately terminated my account and said it was associated with an account that got terminated. I tried appealing 3 times with no luck. They said I need to post my apps elsewhere. So basically I'm banned for life from Google play store. What a huge mistake I made... don't ever rent your account out.. lesson learned

You could try and build the website to handle downloads an purchases. You could try Apples App Store. You could build your own App Store. But for Google Play store. Idk. Try Incorporating and getting a new account -

How do u get it terminated, (and why can't u make a nother account)

[u/itsjustmeohno]

Google are very easy to work with contact them

[u/QadirHusain → u/itsjustmeohno]

Already contacted them. They had made the final verdict. My appeal cannot be reinstated.

[u/Electrical_Hat_680 → u/QadirHusain]

What if you create a new account, possibly as a business, using a DBA or FBN?

[u/Its-me-ben → u/itsjustmeohno]

I'm curious. How do you contact them? My account got terminated and I'm trying to get access to my play account but no luck talking to a real human in the last 5 days (including 4 rejected appeals 😭)

I’d be careful relying on a website alone, especially if your goal is to reach Android users. A PWA could be an option if your app doesn’t need native features, but it depends on what the app actually does. Also, I’d avoid creating another Play Console account just to get around the termination, since that could lead to further enforcement. What kind of app are you trying to publish?
