Google Play Developer Account Terminated — Appeal Rejected Due to 180-Day Deadline. Has Anyone Successfully Resolved This?
​
Hi everyone,
My Google Play Developer account for BkApp was terminated, and I recently received a response from Google stating that my appeal was submitted after the 180-day eligibility window.
They have refused to reconsider the decision and stated that there is no other way to regain access to my account or have it reinstated. They also warned me not to register another developer account, as any new accounts may be terminated.
This situation has been extremely discouraging. I want to continue developing and publishing apps, but this termination has affected not only my existing work but also my ability to confidently work on other projects. I am worried about investing my time in new projects when I may have no legitimate way to publish them on Google Play.
I understand that Google has policies to enforce, and I am not looking to bypass them or create another account against their instructions. I just want to know whether there is any legitimate way to have my case reviewed again.
I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced something similar:
- Has anyone successfully recovered a terminated Google Play Developer account after Google rejected an appeal because it was outside the 180-day window?
- Has anyone managed to get a further review through an official support or escalation channel after receiving a similar response?
- Is there any legitimate process for requesting a review of the original termination or appeal history?
- If reinstatement is genuinely impossible, how are developers in this situation continuing their work and publishing apps without risking further account terminations?
If you have personally experienced this situation or know someone who successfully resolved it, please share what happened and what steps worked.
I have put time and effort into building apps, and I do not want to give up on development because of this situation. Any genuine advice, personal experiences, or suggestions would mean a lot to me.
Thank you.
