Apparently android team thinks app developers have nothing to do, so they keep us busy by randomly ruining, limiting and deprecating APIs.

Official reasons are, of course "power saving" and "privacy and security" (please never mind Google Play Services which eats battery and RAM like hog and, being essentially a rootkit, has access to everything. Rules don't apply to Google's own apps)

Just put big flag.. *Deprecated* one whole -Android system- . So you can save all devs from the constant moving from one command set to another.

Hello, please solve my problem. Some time ago I had a Google Developer account which was deactivated by Google for reasons of Multiple Violations. After that, I created a developer account again, but the account was deactivated by Google for reasons of Prior Violations, at that time there was not a single live application in the account. I currently don't have a Google Developer account at all. I want to ask, how can I create a Google Developer account again? Thank you.
