Hello all! I'm a new android developer and yesterday I tried to publish my first app.6 hours after submitting, I got message on my gmail:

Take control over fighter "TIE Advanced x1"! Join the battle against the Rebel Alliance fighters and destroy them all! Your goal is to show to all traitors, what it means to fight with the best pilot in a galaxy. Features: -Take Control over the best TIE fighter of that time; -Deviate from asteroids using a fantastic maneuverability of your fighter; -Use dual laser cannon to blow all rebel ships; -Gain points and break the records; Disclaimer: Special credits to -Staffan Norling <http://www.scifi3d.com/author_details.asp?key=50> and James Bassett <http://www.scifi3d.com/author_details.asp?key=37>, for models and images; -Daniel Popov,for the promotion and description; TIE Shooter: Vader is a fan project foe entertainment purpose and is in no way endorsed by Lucasfim Ltd., or Walt Disney Company.

This is entirely unofficial, unlicensed Star Wars game. If you have any concern and/or feel there is direct copyright or trademark violation, please contact us directly to discuss. After their notice I changed this decription, removed features and made shorter disclaimer. After 5 hours they sent the same notification message again. Then I reduced it even more, resubmitted app. But then I decided to rewrite all description, like this(*the last*): Title: *TIE Shooter* Short descsription: *Take control over legendary TIE x1 fighter* Full description: *Join the battle against the Alliance fighters and beat them all! Use your phone's accelerometer to control the ship. Break the records and show that You are the best pilot in the galaxy. The game is fan-made and not official.* And I resubmitted app with this description, hoping that they will not check the previous one. But right after I resubmitted it, I received the notification email again, but in concole there is shown " Processing update" Is that mean they checked the last one or the one before last? What was wrong with first description? And whether *the last *description good? I play market I've seen many apps with big descriptions,with many keywords. What should I do, if they will reject *the last* description? Should I respond to Google policy support team <https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/troubleshooter/2993242> ? Thanks all for reading! P.S. All three messages from google were THE SAME, but from different persons. P.P.S. I've read the keyword spam policy <https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/2985717#unrelated> very carefully, as well as other rules. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
