After the WhatsApp extension removed few days ago, I received another email yesterday.
The Viber extension is removed by Google because it “Violated of the Impersonation or Deceptive Behavior provision of the Content Policy”.
Google Play Support [email protected] to me Feb 4 (1 day ago)
This is a notification that your application, DashClock Viber [4.3+], with package ID com.tigerworkshop.dashclockviber, has been removed from the Google Play Store.

After a regular review, we have determined that your app is in violation of the above policy provision.
All violations are tracked. Serious or repeated violations of any nature will result in the termination of your developer account, and investigation and possible termination of related Google accounts.

I haven’t even mentioned anything about myself, nor claiming I am representing Viber or have any association with them.
Maybe I need to add a statement to clarify I am NOT.
That’s why US laws sucks, everything need a lot of disclaimer on them to prevent possible lawsuits.
To be safe, I have removed ALL my DashClock extensions from Play Store.
Again, please consider DashNotifier for a better alternative.
Hey there,
is there any way to get the apk file? of course not for public actions, not even uploading it to anywhere, it’s just that everything else doesnt really work or is just annoying…
Thanks ahead,
Max
