The duratio Android app built cleanly but was not fit for the Play Store. Three problems existed at the same time, and any one of them alone would have caused a rejection.
The biggest was the demo mode. The code DEMO-0000 sat as a grey hint in a text field, and the button next to it stayed disabled until something was typed. The app is in Polish. A Google reviewer reading no Polish would see a label they cannot understand and a button that does nothing. Without a way into the app, the submission fails. The demo mode had to be rewritten manually.
All three problems were addressed in the same change: 7 files, 591 lines added, 16 removed, shipped 2026-09-01. The record does not detail the other two.
An app that builds is not an app that ships: store submissions fail on reviewer experience, not just on compiler output.
