Having been through the process of getting apps through the play store and chrome store admission process a few times my suggestion is:
Don't.
They caught me inadvertently misusing public APIs, performing unnecessarily battery draining ops and plain privacy right violations so often that I certainly don't want to use other apps that didn't go through the process. As a dev it is super annoying, but as a user it is exactly as annoying as I hope it is.
Anecdotal evidence of course and probably an unpopular opinion around here.
