My app keeps getting rejected regarding a policy violation, which on further enquiry seems to be because I used "Amazon" in my app description to denote the affiliate I added in the application.
Soon after knowing this, I changed my app description on the Google Play Console. However, the app's listing wasn't updated. Usually, the store listing is updated when you make a new release.
So I'm now stuck in a loop where they reject my release because of the app's description and I need to release to update my the app's description. I am pretty much stuck with this for almost a month now.
The email in question:
Reason for rejection
