Things to Think About while submitting your app to Stores

An essential step in the creation of every mobile app is submitting it to the store (Play Store and App Store) and getting it approved. The development team must make sure the app is free of potential problems, compatible with the intended devices, and meets with User Experience Guidelines and Legal compliance requirements before making final preparations for publication. 

An essential step in the creation of every mobile app is submitting it to the store (Play Store and App Store) and getting it approved. The development team must make sure the app is free of potential problems, compatible with the intended devices, and meets with User Experience Guidelines and Legal compliance requirements before making final preparations for publication. 
This article outlines the steps involved in publishing an app and outlines the prerequisites that must be met before submitting your application.
The following concerns must be resolved before the app may be published on Google Play and the App Store: 

1. Should the app just be available in a few countries, or may it be downloaded globally? If you, for example, restricted distribution to a country like "China," a potential user who registered an account in the App Store of another country, such as "Japan," would not be able to find and download the application. 
2. How much does it cost to buy or is it free? 
3. Is the app ad-supported?

4. Which app category best represents your app's functionality?

Things to Consider

When submitting a new build or update, the following considerations should be kept in mind and put into action.

• DISABLE AUTO PUBLICATION. Make sure you always publish in manual mode. We always have full control over the publishing process by enabling managed (controlled) rollout.
• Enable managed (controlled) rollout at all times.
  • On the App Store, Phased Roll Out must be enabled. If you pick this, the new update will be made available gradually. The rollout will be 100% complete in 7 days. 
  • The Roll Out proportion for the Play Store should always be between 5% and 20%. Once the app users' input looks to be stable, we can increase the Roll Out percentage at that point.
