What is your hostname when you open a terminal?

Who is running a success Mobile App without using Google/Apple app store and how are you doing?

I would like to know how we can deliver our apps in the future, without going through a detached gatekeeper; whom believes that having a canned-bot reply to your problem, constitutes as 'Good service'.

Backstory: We run a SaaS business telco which focusses on privacy. Needless to say, our mobile app is important to our customers. We are currently experiencing a problem publishing new app versions to Google Play, our app is being flagged as “uploading user’s contact data without consent”. We obviously aren’t doing this, but we also don’t know why Google thinks that we are and it’s not possible to speak to a real person, you only get automated responses when you try and appeal it.

I almost always use my own hotspot on my phone. I've noticed that since I arrived in Indonesia, I've been getting ssl warnings which say: "Warning: potential security risk ahead"
