Me and My collaborator(iOs developer), developed an application. I developed the Android version and He developed the iOS version. So, we used the same content and images. He published successfully his iOs version, but Google play store rejected my Android version - because I used the same icons of the iOs version.
At First they sent me an email saying that:
Thanks for submitting nameOfMyApp ( to Google Play.
I reviewed your app and had to reject it because of an unauthorized use of copyrighted content.
And they sent me a second email after suspending my application saying:
After review, nameOfMyApp, has been suspended and removed from Google Play as a policy strike because it violates the impersonation policy. Your app is identical to an existing app on the Play Store.
Really, it is a big problem for me.
Who Knows how to resolve this issue?
I had the same issue once, and after exchanging some mails with proof(official signed and stamped documents) that my app's content was not copied, thus no 'impersonation' took place. I think this is your only chance, to get in touch with the support and explain the issue, backing it up with documents and the proof you can gather.
