Hope this email finds responsible people.
I got one of my extension taken down 3 days ago for reason 'suspicious code' and 'executing scripts obtained by XHR requests'. I removed features that were using XHR requests because I always try my best to comply with Store policies. However it was taken down again for the same reason. Then I removed Google Analytics code because it was the only script obtained from remote server. I was very surprised couldn't believe Google is blocking its own products. This time I also submitted claim to support and it resulted with automatically generated reply saying that after review they found execution or remote script in one of my particular scripts. The only thing that script does - parsing URLs to extract hostname, parameters and etc. More over, that script was taken from Stack Overflow. I attached a screenshot of the script. Please look into it and tell me where XHR request could be found? This is quotation from the reply:
Your item was found to have requested/fetched one or more external scripts. An example of one such instance in your item was found in scripts/tools.js.
I already submitted appeal as this is clearly a mistake made by people doing review, or automated tool used for that has given a false positive result.
Google Support, please, pay attention to this case and take appropriate actions to reinstate my account and fix the automated tool, that cannot distinguish executing remote script and parsing URL.
Thanks!
