App Rejected by Google Over Privacy – How VPNs Help During Dev Testing

Hi everyone,

I recently ran into a scenario where Google flagged my branded mobile app for missing or unclear privacy policy disclosures during rollout testing. While I’m working through updating the policy and app permissions, I realized using a VPN like Stag VPN for testing can be a helpful interim solution.

Here’s how a VPN helped me manage the testing phase:

  • Securely mimic different geo-locations to test policy and consent screens

  • Isolate testing environments to avoid IP-based rejections

  • Maintain network privacy while deploying development builds

Has anyone here used a VPN during rollout reviews or as part of compliance testing? I’m curious if this is a common step in your deployment checklist.

Thanks in advance for any insights!
