There is a communication gap between them and the developers, the problem is there is no real person to talk and sort things out.
I'm a DevRel person working for Google's Apps APIs, please contact me.
If you work on something for 3-4 months, that's $30-40K at valley rates. To do this for free with the intention to enhance the product offering of a megacorp basically sends the message that you don't value your time. Of course said megacorp is not going to give you the time of day. They start to pay attention when the dollar value of your account is large enough. Start charging for your app. Then you can say, "I wan…
It is difficult to charge money from India as Individuals, paypal does not accept money for India nowadays and it is near to impossible to attach a international payment gateway. I thought of donation as well but again paypal issue.
I think Google has such a strong consumer following now that it isn't as interested in keeping the developers happy. We were early adopters so got a good amount of attention at the start but that certainly seems to have waned with Google's popularity.
It just doesn't make sense. Without developers all the innovation happens elsewhere, and at some point the consumers will switch. Google cannot keep up with innovation internally, and they're not attracting new talent with such a hostile developer stance.
Developed an app for Android and placed it on Android market. It had 5000 users after a week and then it got removed without notice, no email, no reason why, no nothing. First and last time I do anything with Google, malicious company not only for that reason but for many other.

You, you really aren't persuasive for anyone.

Identity fraud is a criminal matter. Talk to the police. If they have stolen copyrighted material, file a DMCA.
It's a technical doc without copyrights, that I wrote 8 years ago...
I'm not sure what happens if they registered the copyright. Presumably you could sue them if you can demonstrate that you were the true creator.
I don't understand the part about sending a passport.
I do think that filing a DMCA notice is certainly the easiest way. Google has to listen to that.
We developed a product specifically for Google Drive using their JavaScript client. We were hoping to make it commercial but had to abandon those plans due to 3 bugs that have been present since around the beginning of 2013. Also, there's no open bug tracker. The developer relations people are very friendly, but when I ask where to report bugs I'm told "just tell me". So every 2 months I've reported the same 3 bugs i…
"I love what Google are doing" - but of course you do, it is called Stockholm Syndrome. Irony aside, i'm trully amazed of Google. See, the smallest misstep Apple makes, everybody jump to hate Apple. Google on the orher can do whatever they want and nada, everybody jump in to alleviate the evelasting, unconditional love, no matter what. Remarkable achievement, hat off, in todays world.

If they'd turn evil over night or just stop existing, we'd still have a big net positive left. Not something that can be said for some competitors.

Don't patronise me. I've been developing commercially for 20 years now, I'm not exactly wet behind the ears, nor easily persuaded by anything but facts. I've evaluated what they are doing on their technical merit. If you want me to give you a detailed explanation of why I prefer their system, it'd probably take about an hour, so it's a bit much as a HN comment. I genuinely think their direction with the API I'm using…
That's your problem. Google is phenomenal on their technical merit. It's the softer, people skills (support, listening to bug reports, etc.) where they constantly shoot themselves in the foot.

Fine. If that's what you want to call it. I just want to point out alternatives. Take it or leave it.
You weren't just pointing out alternatives but actively dissuading someone. That's where I think it crosses the line.
