Multiple apps developed by the developer with the same content and user experience would be removed from the platform. Moreover, the apps created with an automated tool, or the apps based on templates and then submitted to Google Play Store by the operator of that service on behalf of other persons are not allowed either.

Google has also imposed restrictions on apps dealing in firearms and their accessories, apps that accommodate the sale of firearms, ammunition, explosives and similar accessories are now banned as well.  YouTube has also restricted these subjects in their update earlier this year.

Apart from accessories, Google has also banned apps that provide educational content in manufacturing certain firearms; explosives and ammunition are not allowed as well.

Bitcoin rose sharply after a long time

Further, Google has also put restrictions on apps that attract children but contain adult themes, but surprisingly, apps that conceal the identity of people and organizations or conceal their primary purpose, and apps that compel users to click on ads and apps that force users to submit personal information before using the app are allowed.
