Google Play's requirement as for native look and function

Post by keram » Sat Apr 12, 2014 10:28 am

Hello,

I'd like to know what are Google Play's policy with respect to an app that may not have 100% native look and function.
In particular I'm thinking about native scrolling by swiping up and down and keeping the scrollbar instead.
Will such an app be rejected?

Have you checked out MobGUIs native scroller object?

I'm not sure about google's stance on this, but they seem to be pretty lax. I think as long as you don't redefine the functionality of system buttons, then you should be alright.

Here's a list of their official guidelines on core app quality:

Hope this helps!
