I know Google is banning mining cryptocurrency from mobile phone in general since mobile phone is not designed intended for intensive mining workhorse doing it so even on a very hi-end smartphone will lead to destruction of the units and this is where the google's action to ban cryptocurrency mining apps as it not have a good benefit to a smartphone android users.
The main reason is that mining with cellphones is a very difficult thing to understand, generally speaking that when someone is mining with a cellphone it can make the components of the hardware damaged. Smartphone is not a hardware that is designed to do mining, a limited cooling system can make the phone heat up quickly and then damage. So doing mining with cellphones is a waste, wasting time, damaging hardware and not producing anything. No matter how sophisticated a cellphone is it will not be comparable to the money obtained, the price of a damaged hardware cannot be replaced with the money we get from mining results with the phones we have !!!

Googl has always not been friendly of cryptocurrencies in general, latest update is this: Google has placed a ban on mining apps hosted on google play store https://news.bitcoin.com/google-bans-cryptocurrency-mining-apps-from-play-store/?utm_source=Google%20Bans%20Cryptocurrency%20Mining&utm_medium=telegram&utm_campaign=Telegram%20Channel
I heard this news recently in Cointelegraph news channel but at the same time I also heard that still some of the apps are rolling out in Google play store.
The apps which are in play store are waste of time and those apps don't add any value addition for your time and efforts. But the app owners will earn money from the in app advertisements.
i think the reason why google ban bitcoin mining in their google play store is because they dont want the android user got scam, so they blocked and ban all bitcoin mining olatform in the playstore,
that's good
because i think mobile phones are not a good tool for mining

This is how a certain news can be misinterpreted, these applications you are talking about are just fake ones and how on earth could anyone mine bitcoin with these apps and they are just fake ones and it must be blocked without a doubt as they are trying to take advantage of new users who are not aware of the technology and how it works and this news is no way anything against the crypto currency market. 
the whole article was a bit TL;DR, but i've browsed over it, and i can only say this: They should have banned those apps a long, long time ago. It seems they're not banning cloud-mining apps, which is a petty... They should have banned those to.
The performance of cellphone CPU's/GPU's is just poor (the power usage vs hashrate).
In this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.43133494 I calculated the YEARLY income of cpu mining bitcoin on a cellphone to be ~2 satoshi/year, so you'd have to mine for about 250.000 (twohundred and fifty thousand) years to reach the MINIMUM payout treshold most pools have implemented.
Cellphone mining apps are either a scam, are not really mining (like some altcoins that claim to be mobile-minable, but they just give pre-mined coins or tokens for you to run a "miner" while they show you adds or use your phones resources for other things) or are completely and utterly useless
Even if they aren't a scam, what is the point? Bitcoin/any altcoins aren't meant to be mined on GPUs, let alone CPUs and after that Android phones. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has a chinese smartphone mining rig.The performance of cellphone CPU's/GPU's is just poor (the power usage vs hashrate).

Its a good thing that Google play banned it, but its still gonna be available in 3rd party websites, idiots would be smart enough to download from somewhere else, but would be too dumb to figure out how much they actually pay out.
This is not about Google being friendly to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies or not. It's about that Google is trying to protect its business interest and the users.
We are all aware that cloud mining is a scam, at least I don't know any such service that is legit and Google simply doesn't want to be involved with something like this or to turn out that he supports some shady business.
Also, it's possible that someone's phone is misused for mining with mining malwares that are becoming very popular and Google doesn't want to have anything with such possibility. So, I support this decision.

It's ok nevermind about this is that's not big deal for me, learn its how to make huge profit using that slow system of app for mining, if people want to mine need to dpsetting up their own mining rig to get huge earnigs of profits.
And don't worry after a month like before google ban cryptocurrency to advertise in the site but later in Google managemnt decide again to stop the ban of crypto advertisement.

I am with google on this move.
First of all let us talk about the practicality of using someones mobile phone in mining bitcoin.
As we all know bitcoin mining is getting really hard even for this days most powerful pc's then here comes some mining app thru mobile that will tell you could do it with your phone.
Then along the way theyll ask you for payment in order to further improve the potentials of your mobile miner.
And at the end of the day youll just find out that you were just being scammed.
So much better to put an end to it in order to protect googles users.
Exactly right. In a way, I understand the deterrent Google is trying to set for miners to not use mobile devices for mining. What's their efficiency anyway? Not that high...and its another way to prevent cyber attacks.
I can sense that google is not too happy to see crypto currencies success, I somehow see Google is starting to take stance to slowly weakened the crypto power, but in this case I agree with Google, the mining apps in playstore mostly are scam, as we know that mining through phone is not going to make any profit
Those who are not supporting google's decision. Do you guys know how expensive the mining process is! There is no legit app that can mine btc in your phone.
Once BTC was cpu mineable coin too. But now only dedicated expensive equipment can mine btc. If you try to mine android to mine btc, you may be ended with your phone

I think that Google CEO doesn't have a good purpose for the crypto world and he doesn't support the crypto market, he controls the media, and he has the same thoughts as warren buffets.
I see that he is a poison that can make the crypto world destroyed and even have no value.

they just do the great job eliminating those application, i think its a scam. And i dont see any reason that we can make profit on mining using smartphone because even those High wattage computers is having a difficulties in mining. What more to expect with this Low wattage devices

This is bad news for many finished ICOs. I have seen numerous mining apps in advertisements and their end is nearing. Apps associated with storm and electroneum will experience a huge dump if this proceeds. Nonetheless, Google should have done this way back and not just now. google not too friendly with bitcoin. now banning of bitcoin minning apps on play store. why the hate on bitcoin.
In its latest move against cryptocurrencies, Google announced its plans to remove all bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining apps from the Play Store. The decision comes just months after banning Chrome extensions that mine cryptocurrency.
Google announced the decision to ban crypto-mining apps on the Play Store’s developer policy page, saying, “We don’t allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices. We permit apps that remotely manage the mining of cryptocurrency.”
Although users can no longer mine directly from their devices, Google is still allowing developers to release applications that allow mining to be done elsewhere, like on cloud-based computer platforms.
this is not only google first move against crypto.
On the one hand, this is the right decision, because many of these applications are scammers. But on the other hand, it can badly affect the bitcoin exchange rate.
Still not see what is profitable to mining by mobile phone, because risk our phone can broken is really big. Even mining with our PC have big risk too, that is why people not mining BTC nowadays and start to mining with GPU.Sorry to tell you, but GPU mining btc hasn't been profitable in years...
You need a latest gen asic and a good electricity rate.
The misconception about GPU btc mining is so widespread I even included CPU's and gpu's in my profit calculator: https://www.mocacinno.com/mining/
Even if you pay no power and you have some of the best gpu's money can buy, you'll only make cents a year, defenately not enough to ever repay you investment in GPU hardware

If the exchange rate drops because google removes scam apps, it would have inevitably have dropped after the users of those apps started posting about the fact they were scammed anyways...
Sorry to hear some legit apps were caught in the crossfire tough.
