Google Play Banning Apps Purchased from CodeCanyon – Need Help!

Envato Customers Web and Code

Hi everyone,

I recently encountered a major issue with Google Play after purchasing a game bundle from CodeCanyon. I bought the “60 Game Ultimate Bundle” from this link:
:link: 60 Games Ultimate Bundle - Android Games for Reskin and Publishing by StudioPaul-

I have a Regular License from Envato, which legally allows me to use and publish the apps according to the license terms:
:link: Regular License | CodeCanyon

However, after uploading these apps to Google Play, my developer account was suspended for “Impersonation Policy Violations”. Google claims that my apps mislead users by impersonating another developer or entity. This is completely unfair because I purchased the source code legally from a trusted marketplace, modified it, and published it under my own branding.

I appealed, explaining that I have a valid license from CodeCanyon, but Google refused to reinstate my account. Now, I’ve lost my $25 developer registration fee with no resolution in sight.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue with Google Play banning CodeCanyon-purchased apps? If so, how did you resolve it? Any guidance on how to escalate this matter or get my account reinstated would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Impersonation Policy Violations in app stores can be related to store listing elements such as the title, screenshots, images, and description. Check the icon, logos, app title, and description you provided, as the issue may be related to these elements.
