How Do I Configure Android Store Listing Settings for My Mobile App Submission?

To submit your mobile app to the Google Play Store, you must provide specific information and assets for your app’s product page. This guide outlines each required section and its settings. Please ensure all information is complete, as incomplete submissions cannot be approved or released.

Important: All fields must be completed before your app can be submitted for approval and release.

Appearance

Configure the information that appears on your app’s product page in the Google Play Store.

1. Notification Icon
   • Dimensions: 96px by 96px (square)
   • Format: PNG with a transparent background
   • Design: Icon must be solid white
   • Usage: Appears in the device status bar, notification menu, and lock screen
   • If not provided, your mobile app icon will be used
   • Note: Do not use stock images that require attribution

Store Information

Provide the details that will be visible on your app’s Google Play Store product page.

1. Contact Email: This email address will be publicly visible in the app store.
2. Feature Graphic
   • Dimensions: 1024px by 500px
   • Format: JPEG or 24-bit PNG with a solid background (no transparency)
   • Recommended: Use your station logo with a branded graphic
   • Usage: Appears at the top of your app’s product page and may be featured elsewhere in the Google Play Store
   • If not provided, your mobile app icon will be used
   • Note: Do not include promotional marketing copy (e.g., “Toronto’s Number 1 Station”) in descriptions or images
   • Note: Do not use stock images that require attribution

Credentials

Set up the credentials required to build and submit your mobile app.

1. Select one of the Android integrations you set up earlier. If you have not set up an integration, click Manage Credentials or Add New to create one.

Version

Configure the version information for your mobile app build.

1. Select Yes if you are replacing an existing mobile app in the Google Play Store, rather than creating a new app.

Keystore File

The keystore file uniquely identifies you as the owner of your mobile app. This is required to replace your existing Android app or to transfer your app to another developer.

1. SoCast-Generated Keystore: Allow your app to be moved to a different developer in the future. SoCast can create a new keystore file for a one-time fee. A SoCast Client Success Manager will contact you for billing details before proceeding.
2. Upload Existing Keystore: Upload a keystore file from a previous developer or one you created yourself. This allows us to replace your existing app from your previous developer.

For further assistance, please contact your SoCast Client Success Manager.
