I haven't seen this yet. My screenshots for Google Play must be 24 bit no alpha to do this I use Gimp (It's free). Import the png into Gimp and export it as a jpg and it should be accepted. I would imagine this could also be done in Photoshop.

Yeah, use anything to turn it to a jpg and you'll be fine.

Use File/Open to open the image then File/Export As then Select File Type (By Extension).

Thanks guys it helped
You can use this simple tool "Alpha Channel Remover" It removes alpha channel of multiple png files.

hey you can just change the screenshot file type, simple type "defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg" into terminal and done.
No need for any special alpha channel tools or to use jpeg. Just untick transparency when exporting the screenshot as png.
