After Google began restricting which Android apps can gain SMS and Call Log permissions, the company is now focusing on “improving and clarifying” the process it uses to approve or knock back Android developers.
At the same time, Google is going to lengthen the time it spends reviewing new apps for the Play Store in cases where a developer isn’t known to the company.
Google notes in a developer blogpost that, “We will soon be taking more time (days, not weeks) to review apps by developers that don’t yet have a track record with us.”
