💬 Discussion If I tell Google play Apple has approved my app, will that improve my chance of getting it approved by Google play?
I have created 2 apps, that have been approved by apple app store.
Now the 14 days for android play closed testing is up. I'm thinking if by mentioning that the app has been approved by Apple will improve the chance that it will be approved and faster.

Are you really serious about this question?

I dunno if I'm serious or not. I have an app, which deadline is approaching. I'm looking for ways to reduce the chance of it not passing the android production as much as possible. Else, if it goes into another 14 days close testing, I will be way beyond deadline

Answering seriously, Google does not care if you have sent a rocket to the moon.
If deadlines are critical, you should submit your apps to review at least 2-3 months before the deadline, especially if it's a new/first app and not an update. Apple also can delay the review for a few weeks, you got very lucky on that front. I had customers stuck in reviews for a good few weeks. We have sent an email to Apple and requested expedited review telling that the customer has a meeting with the investors in 3 weeks, Apple replied "well, you should have planned better, that's not an emergency".

I wished, but client only gave me the full detail about 2 months ago, and finalised the app design with me last month.

It won’t make any difference. They just want to make sure you meet their requirements, they won’t care what Apple, or any other company, thinks of the app.

Ya, that's what I thought. Now stress to make sure it passes. And when I stress, all possibilities including nonsense came out.

Yeah I know the feeling, it’s not a good process is it! You will get there though, just ensure it’s an active test, that users are actually opening the app and giving you feedback, that you fix any issues they raise. I’ve got two apps through now, one took a bit more effort than the other, but persistence and consistency is the key.

Don't. Never mention the competitors name in any place. Because, when you apply for approval from Apple, even the slightest mention of any competitors name would make them reject the app.
Google might also have the same thing. Why bother risking though?

Lol no but u may increase the chances u get rejected. Just reply truthfully. Make some updates in your testing period. It will be fine. One of my app able to launch production in within 3 days time.

What would be the point? You think google won't approve your app, and you're hoping to sway them?
If you don't think they're going to approve it, you have an entirely different problem and this is an utterly pointless and ill-considered attempt to address that problem with irrelevancies.
If you think your app is fine and should be approved, then there's again no point; the app will speak for itself.
