~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.)

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

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:

  • also work to update/install from F-Droid regardless of GPolicy?
  • be possible to access all content from F-Droid version (while from GPlay version only subset of content) ?

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?
