Description

Google Play send me an email, saying, "Make sure your app doesn’t access or use a service or API in a manner that violates its terms of service, for example, by enabling background play of YouTube videos." My app uses IAB extensively to play videos from YouTube. In some way it is violating the terms of service by playing the videos through IAB. Please examine and fix this bug so it no longer violates the rules.
