How Do I Configure General Store Listing Settings for My Mobile App Submission (App Icons, Ratings, Privacy, and More)?

Follow these steps to configure how your mobile app appears in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, on user devices, and within the app. You will need to complete specific settings for both iOS and Android platforms.

Appearance

  1. App Store Account Name: This name appears in your Apple App Store and Google Play Store listings.
  2. App Name on Device: The display name that appears on users’ devices (bundle/package display name).
  3. Icon & Launch Screen Background Color: This color appears behind your app icon and launch screen image as the background fill.
  4. App Icon:
    • Dimensions: 2732px by 2732px (square)
    • Format: PNG with a solid background (no transparency)
    • Recommended: Include a safety area around your design and avoid border lines, as iOS trims icon borders.

    • Warning: Do not use stock images that require attribution.
  5. Launch Screen Image:
    • Dimensions: 2732px by 2732px
    • Format: PNG with a solid background (no transparency)
    • Recommended: Typically displays your station logo. Do not include advertising; use the promo screen for sponsored or promotional content.

    • Warning: Do not use stock images that require attribution.

Store Information

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

  1. Description: Describe the features and functionality of your app.
    • For Google Play, this description is also used for search, so include relevant keywords such as your station name and call letters.
    • Warning: Do not include promotional marketing copy (e.g., “Toronto’s Number 1 Station”).
  2. Subtitle: (Max. 30 characters) A brief summary of your app’s features and functionality.
    • This appears below your app name as a summary in the store.
    • Warning: Do not include promotional marketing copy (e.g., “Toronto’s Number 1 Station”).
  3. Content Rating – Contests: The content rating for your app is assigned based on your selections.
  4. Does your app contain news or sports content? Check this option if your app includes news or sports content.
  5. Privacy Policy URL: Provide a URL to your app’s privacy policy (e.g., https://www.url.com/privacy).

By carefully completing these settings, you ensure your app is accurately represented and compliant with app store requirements.
