New Rules
for Uploading Applications in the Google Play Store
IntroductionIn
response to the changing times, the search engine behemoth Google Inc. is
tightening screws on the applications that are being uploaded to the Play
Store.
The company
has put in place a special team to screen the new applications for bugs,
sexually explicit material and malware. It has put in this mechanism to
strengthen its age-related rating system so that its products are in tune with
time.
Like Apple,
Google has its operating system running in different devices. To be more
precise, Google has its proprietary Android software powering various devices.
Every year,
developers make a large number of applications whose functionalities range from
calendars to video games. So, it is quite natural to see an updated system in
place to check the new applications developed by developers across the world.
In this article,
we would be looking at the rules the search
engine behemoth has introduced for the first time for the benefit of the
readers who plan to develop new applications.
Updated
RulesThe people who want quality applications look forward to the Google Play
Store for downloading them. The applications that are up for grabs include
digital games, entertainment software,
gaming
applications and social media applications. The Silicon Valley software company
wants to bring certain rules to tighten the quality before uploading the
applications to the Play Store. A content quality team would check whether the
applications getting uploaded follow the stipulated standards in the software
industry. However,
it is not putting in place as stringent rules
as what the Cupertino Company has incorporated in its applications store to set
high benchmark of quality. Yet, it has made sure that the rules are in sync
with the changing times so that only relevant applications get uploaded to its
Google Play Store.
1. An
expert team will screen each application submitted by developers to find any
variation in the content as per the rules laid. Earlier, it used automated
technology for screening the applications. The manual intervention is reintroduced
to catch and solve the glitches the automated system has ignored.
2.
Developers will have to answer certain questions listed in the questionnaires
about their applications so that independent review organizations can rate them
based on their intended use.
3.
Applications submitted without the accompanying questionnaires are liable to
get rejected by the expert team. Hence, it will not be published in the Google
Play Store.
.4.
Existing applications that don't have any rating from the independent agencies
would summarily be blocked to bring a level playing ground across the world.
This move is certain to help the developers from the developing world to get
the required exposure in the global software development industry.
