Hello John, thank you for your answer. These informations are interesting. Indeed I can't be sure about whether unfixed errors affect rank or not, but:
1. it would be very logical, because it implies badly maintained apps, where the developer do not take (little) time to come and check the new errors. Also, in some other bug trackers that I know, it is not only the number of errors which affect rank, but also how old they are. And in my case, it's starting to get older and older. 2. the error reporting is very recent (and non-public), thus your analysis may not have sufficient history/data to tell whether it affects rank or not 3. the dates at which the rank-lost and this console problem started to occur really seem to match. I can't be sure, that's right, but I'd really like this console bug to get fixed to make it clearer.
