Sorry to hear about this. I think there should be a warning first rather than outright banning an account. I've heard of this happening to at least one other dev.
I believe the reasoning behind not allowing Google AdSense for Mobile ads being served up in a webview is that Google wants to be able to classify as accurately as possible how ads are being served, and they want to distinguish between ads served via mobile websites and ads served by mobile applications (most likely because their clients want to be able to target specific users via specific kinds of content). This is why they have two distinct categories: AdSense for Mobile Content and AdSense for Mobile Application Content. But they certainly bring down the hammer pretty hard if you try to serve up ads in an app through a webview. If you're using AdMob, they have an SDK for integrating it with your app. There's no need to serve it in a webview.
