@IzzyOnDroid We got a response now: appeal denied, listing a "malware URL" which literally 404s since we requested the appeal...
I have been told to never attribute malicious intent to what can be explained by incompetence, but this level of incompetence is getting hard to explain...
As a reminder, the apps in question are 100% clean, but given Google is holding almost 1300 other clean FOSS apps hostage what can we do except comply in the narrowest sense possible...
Another appeal it is...

@IzzyOnDroid Current Google IzzyOnDroid block status: block still ungoing even though Google literally doesn't list a single "suspicious" URL anymore after we made the false positives unreachable for them. This is ridiculous. 5 days of almost 1300 clean FOSS apps being blocked by Google for "malware" that doesn't exist. Zero proof, zero accountability, zero recourse. IzzyOnDroid is clean and we work hard to keep it that way. #IzzyOnDroid #Google #SafeBrowsing

@SylvieLorxu @IzzyOnDroid Oh yeah, the dreaded 404 virus, that one is really nasty, makes your files disappear. 🤣 Joking aside, good luck with the 800 pound gorilla. 🙁
