I don't agreee with the Android related tougths. Altrough they don't deprecate API's, permission related things are changed too often. If you have any non-trivial app, you have to make changes every year to remain in Google Play and the rules are awkard. My latest pain: I have a voip phone app in the store and last time I had to add a big popup before touching the contact list, informing the users the purpose (which is obvious with a phone app). Also the app description now contains that "this app might upload your phone numbers", altrough it only list it for the user, so they can select a contact and call it. There are many more idiot thing, but I stop here because I already start to become angry, thinkig about the many wasted hours at their stupidity.
