Whats is that? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.petraru.android.facebook

I've found this app recently on Play Store, is a paid app, is your project. Same interface, same splashscreen, same navigation drawer, everything is same! Only is diferent the logo and name!

Why isn't your app on the playstore?

indywidualny commented 5 years ago

It's not allowed to add it. It's against Google policy. All the similar apps are getting and will be getting removed.

I imagined that. I had a similar app like yours a while back and it was removed. But, how are apps like Swipe and Tinfoil super popular and still there (for years)?

@jmbits Google says that you can't impersonate a corporation or affiliation if that doesn't exists.

You can't:

App titles and icons that are so similar to those of existing products or services that users may be misled.

Apps that falsely claim to be the official app of an established entity.

Apps that violate the Android Brand Guidelines.

You can:

If you plan to publish a Facebook app to Play Store you need set tittle adding "for Facebook" phrase to your app name(Face, FB or Book isn't permitted) and use your own resources.

Also when you are upploading screenshots you can't publish screenshots with copyright contentent

Here are some examples of copyrighted content that is often used without authorization or a legally valid reason:

• Cover art for music albums, video games, and books.

• Marketing images from movies, television, or video games.

• Artwork or images from comic books, cartoons, movies, music videos, or television. College and professional sports team logos.

• Photos taken from a public figure’s social media account.

• Professional images of public figures. Reproductions or “fan art” indistinguishable from the original work under copyright.

• Apps that have soundboards that play audio clips from copyrighted content.

• Full reproductions or translations of books that are not in the public domain.

Like ZonaRMR said, you can add "FaceSlim for Facebook & Messenger" on the playstore. Just like there is:
