IBM Application Center has been removed from Google play due to violating their Malicious Behavior policy as the application contains security vulnerabilities.
the application in question is basically a repository of mobile applications configured by our end, this application is meant to host some other applications specified for a specific organization.
the application was up and running for three years now, but apparently, Google has changed its policy in this regard.
my question: is there any way that would help me republish the application to the Google play without changing its meaning?
Below is the email we received from Google:
