App suspended from Google Play

Hi, I recently got one of my app suspended from google play, it was called "iOS7 Style Wallpapers" , ofcourse it contained apple iOS 7 Wallpapers.
Now I am thinking of my next apps, for example I have "Despicable Me HD" is an app with wallpapers from despicable me movie and some other found on internet.
I dont really understand their agreements, can someone please explain if this app will also be removed, what should I pay attention at.
Thank you!

I'm guessing here, since you didn't post the reason your app was pulled, but from your description I'm guessing a copyright problem. If you are using material obtained from somebody else (iOS files, movie images, etc.) be sure you have appropriate license to use and redistribute them. Finding something lying around the Internet doesn't count. You need to contact the copyright owner and negotiate a license. Easy for GPL or Creative Commons stuff, those have licensing terms clearly spelled out at the distribution point. Getting permission to copy stuff from Apple or Universal will be a touch harder.
I am not a lawyer. I suggest talking to one in your jurisdiction before releasing your next project to see how to stay legal.

Using an image which belongs to a big company will certainly be a copyright infringement, and they certainly will not negotiate a license. As soon as they report you (or someone else does) then Google will almost certainly ban that app and eventually your dev account, so I would be very careful. These big companies have people who's job it is to search out such infringments, so your chance of getting banned is pretty high I would say.

I thinks so you are using copy right images that why your app is rejected. Can you please tell us are you sole owner of iOS7 wallpapers ?
Thanks

You can not use name iOS and Apple symbols. Thats all.

if that's the case then why do literally dozens of apps with iOS in the title come up when searched in the play store?

Need a Play Store account for publishing of App.

Hi Guys,
I saw a lot of threads on the forum by which users could publish their apps for free on Play Store. But unfortunately, the members that were doing this are not active since a lot of time.
I am new to Android Development, and developed an Evolve Calculator for Pokemon GO, and wanted to publish it to Google Play Store, but unfortunately I don't have a credit card, and can't buy a Play Store Developer account.
So I wanted to ask, does Google give away free Developer Accounts to students, etc. Or would someone be kind enough to help me in getting a Play Store Account, or share one with me?
I am currently hosting a signed APK of my app on Google Drive, but i am not sure whether I should share it here or not.
Thanks in Advance

Can't really help you with the publishing (sorry!) but I'll say... don't worry too much about the APK.
The second you put anything on the Play Store, whether free or paid, it becomes available on a couple dozen mirrors and piracy websites. Where are you from? I'm sure there are prepaid credits cards that you can use without a bank account in your country, and getting your own developer account (with the ability to update your apps whenever you want) is REALLY recommended.

I bought the developer account, and hosted my app. Will make a Post on XDA as well, when I reach 10 posts. As far as pirated copies are concerned, I found none on the internet, I don't know whether thats insulting or what

Well then congratulations on your first published app
They usually start popping out when you emerge in any category, like Top New X or very deep in the Trending rankings. It's all done by bots anyway, rarely the APK ends up on websites that bring some traffic (which can be useful if you integrate ads, and some of them might want to download the "real" updated version).

Well, I had high hopes for the app, and hopefully it will do good. As far as Ads are concerned, I will integrate them next year, I am not eligible for AdSense or Merchant Account yet

Well considering that your app is about Pokemon Go, your users like games which means that you can integrate pretty much any interstitial ad network and not just AdMob

I will see whether I will integrate them or not. Most probably not, I myself don't like ads, and I think others also hate them. As far as making money is concerned, I am not interested that much into it. I just the app to perform well

You could try free stores like: Opera, Amazon, Aptoide.

Just search for mobile marketing forums. There must be people who want!

Mobile app developers, we want to chat about app stores.

Hi All,
My company is currently researching the global app store landscape. We are hoping to talk with developers who publish apps on The App Store and The Play Store and other alternatives. We would like a brief chat to understand the developers' perspective in this ecosystem and try and highlight the motivations for using alternative stores, if any. If you think you might be able to help, please drop me a PM.
