App rejected, impersonation policy Google Play. Could it be package name?


first time building and publishing an app. I used PhoneGap to create an app.

I got this message when i tried to publish the app on Google play.
App violates the impersonation policy

Not sure if the problem is the package name.
My package name: com.phonegap.organisationnameappname
Should it be like this instead: com.organisationname.appname

I am using phonegap in the package name, could this be the cause of the violation.

I am using content form the organisations/company's website to create this app. The app is for them. I am using my personal developers account to publish the app. Could this be the issue. Using my account to publish the app for them?

Concerning the package name.
Example: com.organisationname.appname
What happens if you don't have an organisation name or organisation website? Can you use any name as an organisation name?

Can you have a package name like this: com.appname with no organisation name?

Is it possible to have more than one app on the app store with the same package name?

Thanks in advance


Solution

  • Yes you cannot use any brand or company name in package or in name without permission. Please read Impersonation and Intellectual Property guidelines: https://play.google.com/about/ip-impersonation/
