My app update was rejected on Google Play Console, and I’m trying to understand what may have caused it and how to correct it before resubmitting.

The rejection lists these issues:

Not adhering to Google Play Developer Programme Policies
Metadata policy: Violation of Metadata policy

This was for an app update, not a first release. The current status also shows the update as in review while these policy issues are listed.

At the moment, I have reviewed the store listing, app description, screenshots, and recent update changes, but I’m still not certain what triggered the rejection.

I’m looking for guidance from anyone who has faced something similar:

What was the actual cause in your case?
How did you identify the exact issue?
What changes helped your update get approved?
How long did re-review take after resubmission?

I understand no one here can provide official support. I’m only trying to better understand the likely cause and fix the submission correctly.

Thanks for any insight.

My app update was rejected on Google Play Console, and I’m trying to understand what needs to be fixed before resubmitting.

The rejection mentions these two issues:

Not adhering to Google Play Developer Programme Policies
Metadata policy: Violation of the metadata policy

The issue is that both messages are quite broad, and I’m not sure what specifically triggered them.

Has anyone experienced similar rejections for an app update?

I’d appreciate any guidance on:

What caused the rejection in your case
How you identified the actual problem
What changes you made before resubmitting
How long the review took after resubmission

For context: this was an app update, not a first release, and the update is currently showing as “in review” while these policy issues are being listed.

Thanks in advance. Just trying to understand what I may have missed and fix it properly.
