You can watch complete video at https://youtu.be/tx45ctifEd0.

First of all, I recommend that you check the Google Play Developer Policy Center https://play.google.com/policy and the list of Developer Support Resources http://developer.android.com/support.html as well as the Google Play Console Help Center https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer You may also contact the Google Play Console support team https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/#topic=3450769&contact=1

If you have got the app rejection mail from google which contain error message like 

"App status: Rejected

Your app has been rejected and wasn't published due to this policy issue. If you submitted an update, the previous version of your app is still available on Google Play."

So if you see in mail it mentioned the policy name and the reason why app got rejected.

How to find which policy issue?

If you see your mail carefully then you will fine the policy name. 

For example: as you can see in the below image contain red circle part where policy name is mention. You can click on that and go thought the policy(or check policy page https://play.google.com/policy) 


Make appropriate changes to your app code so it won't come under google play store violation policy.

Still if you are not able to find issue then check the below list:

  1. App that contain copy right material
