Publication requests
The history of requests to publish the app in the App Store and Google Play. This is where a new request is created and its status is followed.
How to open it
The rail, the Growth group, Publication.
What you can do
- Create a request to publish the app
- Track request statuses and store versions
- Open a request card
The interface
At the top is the name the app will be published under, with a link to the app settings. If required materials are missing, the list of missing fields is shown with links to the right sections.
The New request button creates a release. It is unavailable while an unfinished request exists or required fields are empty.
