Hi developers, The new AppReviewer is much smarter than the old one. Now it will catch those very crafty abuse cases where apps try to copy the name of existing apps in order to trick the users. So, newly submitted applications with names that are too similar to existing applications *will not* be approved. Apps that change their name to names that collide with other applications *will be removed*.
This measure is designed to protect you from apps that try to copy your app's name. However, it can backfire on you if you try change your application's name. The short rule is *do not, ever, try to change your application's name*. And if you disregard this advice and do it anyway, please realize that if the new name happens to collide with the name of another application, then your app will be *taken down immediately* without any opportunity to fix the problem[*]. *[*] temporarily, we're not actually doing this, but we will start doing that soon!* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "orkut Developer Forum" group.
