How Cloud Policies and Store Verification Delayed My Mobile App Release
Google Cloud policy, banking limits, seller verification, and sandbox setup delayed Kotohira Digital Residents after its code was ready.
The app was finished. However, the delay in its release was due to an identity check that was not covered in the SDK documentation. The app, called Kotohira Digital Residents, was for a Japanese town of about 8,000 people. The app's subscription required the user to help someone in the town three times before the resident card was completed.
After completing the app, the project stalled for ten days. The issues were not technical bugs but system requirements that required unique actions to be met. These included creation of a Google Play service account, overriding an organization policy, and finding the correct SWIFT code for a bank transfer. The project moved forward only after these system requirements were addressed.
