*Here’s what I’ve concluded after running a full investigation on my side.*
AdMob’s review team is almost certainly testing the app on an *Android
emulator*, not on a real physical device.
I verified this because the app runs perfectly on four real Android devices
I personally tested on:
1.
Galaxy Z Fold
2.
Galaxy Tab S7
3.
Galaxy A8 2018
4.
Galaxy S11
Not a single crash, freeze, or instability was observed on any physical
hardware.
However, when I tested on a *Pixel emulator*, I immediately reproduced the
same type of error that your team flagged.
This clearly proves that the issue is tied to the emulator environment, not
the application itself.
Foreground services combined with microphone access and continuous audio
processing *are not supported* on Android emulators.
This is a known limitation documented across Android development and is not
something an app developer can fix.
Based on this, I completely redesigned the start flow.
• On emulators: the feature is now *blocked* and a popup clearly states
that sleep monitoring cannot run in a virtual environment
• On real devices:
– first launch shows a normal microphone permission request
– if denied, the user is redirected to system settings
• ForegroundTask + audio analysis now run *only* when real hardware
conditions are detected
This should eliminate every false stability signal that originates from
virtual test infrastructure.
So yes, I’m confident this resolves the issue.
The app itself was never the root cause; the emulator was.
And one more thing.
I originally reached out to “Mobile Ads SDK Support Team Groups.”
I want to be absolutely clear on this.
*Are you an official AdMob support agent, an automated bot response, or
just a community group member replying?*
I need to know who exactly is communicating with me, because the review
outcomes directly affect the operation of my business.
Please respond with your role so I understand who I’m actually dealing with.

These are my ad app ID, banner I'm using, and full ad ID. The Admob team
keeps saying that the app keeps turning off? This seems to be a problem,
but with the actual 4 devices including my Android simulator, there is no
problem with the core sleep measurement function at all. It seems like they
repeatedly deliver me the results of the commonly known Robo test inside
Google or send me the results of testing based on underqualified Android
virtual devices. Please give me a specific guide to solving the problem.
There is no problem with the core function, so the ad-mob team said there
is a problem with the function that passed in the Play Store, without any
details. I think it's unfair to say that you will suspend your account on
December 1st?

Hi,
Thank you for providing the details.
After reviewing your account, I can see that there is a Site Behavior: Navigation policy issue.
Regarding your concern, the “Site Behavior: Navigation — Must Fix” policy error is related to your app’s implementation, specifically its navigation behavior. We recommend checking the following:
Ensure your app does not include any false claims or fake content.
All buttons in your app should function properly and serve a clear purpose. Buttons must not lead to non-working URLs.
The app should not redirect users to irrelevant or misleading content.
Ads should not cover any usable parts of the app.
Ads should not interfere with the user’s ability to navigate or use the app.
We also recommend reviewing our implementation guidance.
Thanks,
Mobile Ads SDK Team
