If I create app with html template 
And create layout with html and css home page
Then I created another newfile named new window.html
And I use app.CreateWebView()
To load my html page 
After uploading on Playstore my application will be removed?

Really?

Webview apps are not blacklisted, but you need to make sure that your app is not just showing a website and nothing more than that.

It needs to have extra functionality, for example a native drawer menu, notifications, an about box.

If you want to, you can inject code into a website to override the normal menus and replace them with a native Drawer menu.

The app also needs to do something useful or it will be considered a junk app and be removed.

Hey Dave thanks for replying!
I used local html file with worthy service.
My Webview html usages notification, background service, but not native drawer 
But I have made html drawer that feels like native
It is still considering as blacklisted webview?
