Malware, Mobile Unwanted Software & Behavior Transparency
I am a developer from China. I launched an APP about finding part-time jobs, but it was censored by Google because of Malware, Mobile Unwanted Software & Behavior Transparency.
The issue was removed from the shelves. Our team has reviewed the code several times and found no problems. I really don’t know how to modify it. It was a devastating blow to our team. At this time, I was severely depressed and the team was about to be disbanded and closed down!

We have seen this a few times. The best information I can give you is to first try and work out why the app has been flagged as having Malware. run it though every online tool you can find and see if you can get a hit for malware. If you do you might then be able to track down what in your app may be causing a false flag (assuming the app isn't deliberately introducing malware!)
Once you have that information you have good grounds to submit an appeal. Include all the evidence you have found. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/troubleshooter/2993242

do you have any news to share with us about these account terminations for malware?
I keep watching the button "I have the same question" and it grows every day.
Are you aware of other devs that have had their accounts reinstated after this specific issue?
Thanks
