Wow – pure SnakeOil, those so-called anti-virus or anti-malware scanners! "we are unable to proceed with the whitelisting request unless the application is available on the Google Play Store"?!? WTF?!? 🤯
And yes, that's part of a real response a dev got.
So they claim: your app is malware, as long as it is not at Google Play. I'd say we've heard it the other way around, too…
@gildilinie @IzzyOnDroid VT aka Virustotal is a company owned by Google.

No but they are influenced and brainwashed by google. Literally everyone is. Even movies and series calls out google as the only thing. You can see the level of hogwash that goes in.
@eighthave I know. But the different vendors are not owned by Google. And the answer there didn't come from VT or Google, but from one of the vendors. @gildilinie
