apk file isn’t that straightforward as the default Chrome browser on Android can’t open them directly. To please these users the developers made a separate version with YouTube functionality that can be installed directly from the FrostWire site. This worked, as the app was put back in the store by Saturday, but yesterday it was removed again citing the “YouTube” violation.
Repeated removals will result in app suspension, at which point this app will count as a strike against the good standing of your developer account and no longer be available on Google Play.Īfter the first warning last Friday FrostWire submitted a YouTube-less app to get it re-listed. “After a regular review, we have determined that your app downloads, monetizes, or otherwise accesses YouTube videos in violation of the YouTube Terms of Service or YouTube API Terms of Service,” Google informed FrostWire while cautioning over the possibility of a permanent disconnection. Unlike the recent ban by Amazon, the removal has nothing to do with torrents but was triggered by FrostWire’s YouTube integration. Yesterday, however, the popular app was rendered unavailable.įrostWire developer Angel Leon informs TF that Google pulled the application citing a violation of the Developer Distribution Agreement. Today it’s mostly a BitTorrent client, but it also offers the option to access content from YouTube.įrostWire is available on all major operating systems and does particularly well on Android where it has 2.9m active installs. The application was first released in 2004 as a LimeWire fork, but underwent several changes over the years. FrostWire has become a well-known file-sharing brand over the past decade.
