Google details 2023–2024 efforts to safeguard the Play ecosystem: blocking 2.28M policy-violating apps and 333K bad developer accounts; enhancing ML-driven reviews and real-time code-level scanning that identified 5M+ malicious off-Play apps; tightening developer verification, testing, and privacy/data deletion requirements; expanding the Play SDK Index and partnering via the restructured App Defense Alliance; adding MASA-based transparency labels for VPNs; limiting outdated-API apps; and launching new 2024 initiatives, including removing apps with opaque privacy practices and pursuing legal action against fraudsters.
