First off, let me share some context from my own experience and what I've seen in developer communities:

1. Could your crash stats trigger the Bad Behaviour flag? #

Google Play's Bad Behaviour flag typically covers a range of issues beyond just stability—things like spam, misleading functionality, non-compliant data practices, or repeated app misbehavior that harms users. That said, while your 98.7% crash-free rate is solid, Android 11-specific crashes might be a red flag if they're caused by something that violates policies (e.g., improper permission handling that leads to crashes while accessing restricted data, or crashes that leave users stuck in a broken state repeatedly).

7 crashes across 3 users might not seem like a lot, but if those crashes happen every time those users launch the app, or if they're tied to a policy-violating action, Google's automated systems could flag it. It's also possible the flag is unrelated to crashes—make sure to double-check other policy areas like content policies, in-app purchases, or data collection.

2. Have other developers faced similar situations? #

Absolutely! I've seen several threads in developer forums where apps got flagged for Bad Behaviour due to unexpected stability issues, especially on older Android versions where permission models changed (like Android 11's scoped storage). Many developers reported that fixing the crashes and submitting a policy review got the flag removed quickly. Some also found that the flag was triggered by a combination of minor issues (not just crashes) that added up in Google's automated checks.

3. Help with translating your guideline snippet #

If you share the exact text of the guideline snippet you found, I can help translate it accurately (just specify the target language if needed!). Google's policy docs can be dense, so a clear translation will help you align your app with their requirements.

Pro Tips to Resolve the Flag #

• Fix the Android 11 crashes first: Even if they're low-volume, resolving them shows you're addressing user experience issues.
• Submit a policy review: Once you've made fixes, go to Google Play Console's Policy section and request a review, explaining what you've fixed.
• Check your app's other metrics: Look for spikes in user complaints, uninstalls, or policy warnings you might have missed.
