Other The Secrets to App Success on Google Play

[tdocs2]

Greetings.

Google just published The Secrets to App Success on Google Play - 81 pages. I downloaded the pdf, and found content not suitable on page 3 of the pdf. I contacted Google and they confirmed the issue. This was their final response:

Hi Sandy,
Thanks again for chatting with me today. As promised, here is a copy of our chat transcript. As soon as I hear back regarding our published guide I'll let you know.

Best regards.

Sandy

Yesterday, Google did reply to my inquiry and this is their response:

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your patience. I've received confirmation from our team that this text is indeed intended to be in the document and there's nothing to worry about. Keep in mind that the text on that page is intended to be placeholder text, as it's a general guide on how to read the document. Normally, a standard lorem ipsum(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) is used in these cases, however our team thought it would be fun to rewrite it as "Zombie Ipsum" with a few references to the popular TV show, The Walking Dead.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

Regards,
Jeff
