From first draft to production
Create the app in Console, fill the store listing, pick a test track, upload an AAB, then request production when the policy form and testing gates are green.
Listing first
Title, short description, full description, screenshots, and a content rating questionnaire must be complete before a production review has anything to read.
AAB, not APK
Play expects an Android App Bundle. Internal, closed, and open tracks exist so you can catch crashes before production. New personal accounts usually need the 12×14 closed test first.
