In addition, Google claims that new app developer accounts after September 2023 will need to be certified by Deng's code (CTOnews.com). Google will also verify the developer's legal name, company address, email, phone number, company size, bank account number, domain name and other information.

Developers can choose any date between November 8, 2023 and February 29, 2024 as the deadline. if they are not certified, they will be deprived of their developer rights, and the previously listed App will also be removed from the Play store.
