Background: I'm a web developer, but have a few popular apps (free, no ads) on the play store. I submitted a new app for review. It was rejected for crashing. I kept trying to fix, but due to being new to native development — and hitting issues with cached builds and proguard (I really shouldn't have enabled it!) — I wasn't able to fix before striking out.

I had no idea that multiple rejections would cause a suspension. Especially a clearly non-malicious re-submission.

The appeal was also denied. I followed up with an email 2 weeks ago. No reply.

Bugs are inevitable. That an app would be suspended for a bug is funny, if it wasn't so kafkaesque. :)
