Or you can contact the Google Play team to ask for blocking your app. They
can trigger the app blocking mechanism remotely in Android devices to
automatically uninstall the app....

You would have to contact Wikimedia's Site Reliability Engineering team
with a request like this. Your best way forward is probably to file a task
in Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/> and tag it with
#Operations.

Hello,
in 2016 I wrote a small Android app, that is making use of the Wikipedia
ActionApi to search for articles at the current location of a user.
Due to legal considerations I am currently trying to take down the app.
It’s not available any more in the Google PlayStore, but there are still
installations out there.
That’s why I want to make these installations unusable by deactivating
all backend services, that the app is using.
Unfortunately the app is (partially) directly communicating with
wikipedia servers and not via a proxy under my control.
The app sends a special User-Agent HTTP header with every request to
identify itself:
tagorama/v1.0.0.283-release (
http://tagorama.rocks/; info(a)tagorama.rocks)
Is there any way for you to block requests from this app?
Who would I contact?
Thanks for your help,
Frank Wunderlich
