Please check appCategory return null

I can confirm I'm seeing this as well. This wasn't the case before, so I'm not yet sure what has changed. Perhaps Google is deprecating this field.

FWIW one workaround for now is to use https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-play-scraper#app which I can confirm is still returning the genre info in the response--it's scraping the webpage and not using Google's internal APIs.
