Appalling support and laughable errors
Appalling support and laughable setup. We've been trying to sign up for over a week now for a Developer Account, and would you believe it, in 2025 Google still can't put up a form on their website that accepts a UK phone number!!! And because it doesn't THERE IS NO WAY to continue your application.
Ok, a glitch perhaps? So you contact Support and surprise surprise 'phone number verification issues' are one of the options you can select (so they know, right?) You then get a worse than useless Support email response that literally fails to address the specific issue you mention, tells you (via a link) to start a chat, but later you'll find chat is not available if you have a phone verification issue, so you're back to emailing and a day goes by without a reponse (still waiting)
How poor and appalling and regrettable that you have to rely on them if you want to publish an app. So why exactly are they perfectly happy with providing such and appealing service and experience?
