I have made a decently fine app in my free travel time : Memes for Whatsapp - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.makulabs.chat.memes.pro.for.whatsapp&referrer=hn
App lets you search memes, share them on various chat apps, etc. I've also added a bit of Facebook audience network for Ads.
I am now building a script which will make copies of the source, replace string files & some selected assets to generate a brand new app (with a new package ID) which does something brand new but on same lines as of the original app.
ORIGINAL App : search and share memes
NEW CLONE Apps : [search and share inspirational quotes, search and share devotional pictures of gods, search and share pictures of new clothing styles, search and share hollywood actress pics, etc]
All of these cloned apps will have separate ID's, tracking, etc - but will be based on my original source code.
Objective is not to repeat myself. Bug fixes are easier, generating new APK's for all is like just running a script, etc.
*BIG question : Are apps produced from such a process acceptable on Google Play (specially since the manual screening has started)?
Thanks in advance!
