Graphic Assets And Some App Upload Guidelines For Google Play Store And App Store
Once you’re done with your mobile application for the next big thing with the designing, coding, and testing; the time comes to make it live. Time to submit the application on the respective store; for Android — Google Play Store and for iOS — App Store.
This is when you first interact with the Developer Console. An essential step is to create a signed APK(Android) and Build(iOS). This is generally done by the developer. But the missing piece of the puzzle is managing all those image assets, splash screens, icons, and screenshots in order to publish the app.
In this blog, we’ll see graphic assets and app upload guidelines both for free and paid apps.
Once you’re ready with the Signed APK (Android) and Build (iOS), log in to your respective Google Developer Account and iTunesConnect.
With each major release of OS update and new device launch, respective stores change the guideline for graphic assets and app upload. Below are the primary things you need to have before launching the app.
- App Icon
- Splash Screen
- Screenshot
