Publishing overview

Pick a store in Publish, do the step it marks next, and follow your app through review to release.

Updated Oct 11, 2026

Publish: Google Play and App Store with their steps done, the next step's card for the App Store, and the Steps, Store page, Checks, Releases and Purchases tabs
Pick a store; the step to do now is on top, with everything it needs.

Steps

  1. Click Publish in the project bar (on a narrow window, in the app menu).
  2. Pick App Store or Google Play. Each shows how many steps are done.
  3. Do the step in the card at the top: a form, a button, or a console page with the values to copy.
  4. Repeat until the card offers Open Releases.

Good to know

  • Apple usually answers a review within a day or two, Google within a few days; a first review can take longer. Fees go to Apple and Google.
  • Nothing is submitted or released until you confirm. The assistant can do these steps too, each as a card you approve.
  • By default, only owners and admins connect store accounts, send, submit and release.
