~I am still trying to appeal to Google to restore the app, if my appeal is not granted, my only options will be either submit as a new app with different id & name or only available within github.~

Would IzzyOnDroid (info) / F-Droid (info) be considered, to make updates easier?

(I also want to note that even if you use F-Droid in the future, as long as you submit your signature, users will be able to smoothly transition between your builds (distributed on GitHub) & F-Droid's builds.)

Please, could you upload an ipa file for ios ?

Please, could you upload an ipa file for ios ?

I don't think this is possible without paid Apple developeer account and without limit

bb010g commented 3 years ago

I submitted PxView to IzzyOnDroid, but got this response:

Thanks for the suggestion! But the APK is beyond the 30M limit unfortunately. The app further comes with at least Crashlytics, Firebase and GMS. This is a quite unfortunate combination, so I'm afraid I must decline, sorry.

@alphasp What were the Play Store's issues with PxView R?

@alphasp What were the Play Store's issues with PxView R?

PxView R app was suspended due to the app contains content that doesn't comply with Google Play Sexual Content and Profanity policy. It is mainly due to the app not handling sanity level of the work, ie: some works are not R-18 but still deem as over sexual under Google Play policy. Official pixiv app do handle this correctly as the app will check for each work sanity level and not showing those work by default in app.

Will this censorship mechanism be not available on e.g. F-Droid version, therefore:

dic-l-art commented 1 year ago

Do I understand correctly that if I use playstore version, then censorship is applied (that's why "R" in name), while if I use new apt ! version 5.0 currently) then it will work without censorship?
