It is not permissible to violate the conditions set by application owners that prohibit advertising and promotion through their applications, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Likewise, it is not permissible to assist anyone who intends such a violation by creating programs that enable them to do so, because Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
