In pre-pub, how do you identify the submission to reject an app?
The Publish flag in Critical Info
Is it part of the process to translate the given credentials on the other details in order to bypass an app?
YES
If you have an app that requires purchase but has no purchasing available within the app. What would be your decision? https://screenshot.googleplex.com/7TZubdvFvtZMjR2.png
Decision: Pass for Login Credentials, we can only enforce this kind of scenario if there's a google play payment within the in-app experience.
You're approving apps against the Login Credentials policy in pre-pub or you're issuing a warning against the Login Credentials policy in post-pub because the app is made by Important / Sensitive Developer and require 2-Step Verification. What would be the proper # for this one?
Decision: #TC_PP_2SV
The developer provided 2 accounts. Just like student and teacher. Should we test both accounts or should we focus more on the user's (student) account?
Decision: Yes we should try each one of them since there are different logins and could have different in-app experience.

Pass : Official government apps requiring social security or government identification for login (e.g., Social Security Number, Passport Number, National Identification Number).
True or False. Apps that require subscription are good to pass because we don’t have access to the accounts that can buy paid apps. We pass and annotate.
False. Paywall that requires one-time payment or subscription to experience in-app content is a violation.
When do we only use the generic PII?
Reviewers are required to use Generic PII Credentials to sign-in when developers don’t provide valid credentials
What methods can a developer use to ensure reviewers can log in to their app?
Guest mode accessible on landing page
Skip button accessible on landing page
Credentials listed in critical information
What is the key difference between an in-app paywall and Google Play Licensing verification?
Google Play Licensing apps trigger an alert or pop-up message from outside the app, not within the app interface.
Can we consider this as a pass for Login Credentials? The reviewer was able to bypass the login wall without the “mailto:” from the developer TC: < https://screenshot.googleplex.com/6kXACgK5wDUEYoX.png > or should we stick to what is presented in the TC provided by the developer? It seems like “mailto:” is not part of the actual email and is only an indicator that the following text is an email address.
Disregard the “mailto” and just enter the email address , but will give leniency if the agent inputs the “mailto” and is not able to bypass the wall , but the correct process would be to disregard the “mailto”.
