What if Google rejects my app

Google Play's review is generally less strict than Apple's. Still, it's Google's call, and nobody can guarantee approval.

Personal accounts created after 13 Nov 2023 first run a closed test with at least 12 testers opted in for 14 days in a row. Then you apply for production access, and Google reviews that
Organization accounts skip the testers, but Google verifies the organization (often with a D-U-N-S number)
This is Google's rule, not ours, and Google can change it. Check your Play Console for what applies to you
No rush from our side: your BDK build doesn't expire while you finish the test
Short on testers? Search for Play tester exchange communities. They make finding testers quick

Google tells you why, in your Play Console
If it's about your listing, your content or your bubble app, you fix it there. Changes to your bubble app show up in your app without a rebuild
If the fix needs a new Android build, it comes out of your banked rebuilds, like any other rebuild. None left? An extra rebuild is $19 (prices as of 19 October 2026)
If Google's message names a BDK native feature, message us on the chat with Google's message

BDK payments are final, including when Google rejects an app. So try your app for free in preview first.
