Is there a way to bypass the review process in the Google Play Developer Console?

[ForumChell]

As a newcomer in the app development industry, I decided to create my own app after failing to purchase one. I learned that many apps get removed from Google Play due to its strict anti-piracy policy.

I heard about a review mode feature that allows the reviewers to access only the review mode, which hides the actual content of the app. When the review mode is off, users can see all the contents that were not visible during the review.

Can someone explain to me how the review mode works? I assume that once my app is under review, I cannot modify its code, and after review, any changes will require re-review. So, how can people use the review mode?

I do this all the time. You just need a good developer to add it for you.

You can add a timer to your app that starts after a certain number of days, or you can store a setting on a server (like Firebase) that changes. When the setting is 0, show one kind of content, and when it's 1, show something else. This lets you control what your app shows from the server. If your app is a webview, you can fully manage the content from the server side.

Thanks! I ended up adding server-side features to my apps.

Webview apps make it easy to do that. You can just update your website that the app connects to after it's been reviewed.

You can do this with WebView or use a remote config (like a .json file) to change the app's content without needing to update the app.
