Android App Rejection From Google Play

I recently submitted an Android app to Google Play Store and got a message that my app has rejected. I am not sure what the problem is and couldn't find an exact solution. REASON

Solution 1:

I have encountered the same issue in my app once.It got rejected because of YouTube policy violation issue.In my app,i had an HTML page which plays embedded YouTube videos.Finally i found that the video plays in background even though screen is locked.I missed onPause() method to handle it.That was the reason why my app got rejected.So in order to fix this,

1. Check whether the video plays in background even though screen is locked.If so try adding onPause() method to stop the video from playing.
2. If the above part is fine,check if you are using YouTube API for integrating this.

Either one of these two should work.All the best.

Solution 2:

Seems that your implementation of the WebView makes the video continue playing while the app is closed, this is what they mean by background playing.

Try to use videoview instead of playing videos in webview.
