Google Play Submission Checks

Use this skill to validate everything before submitting a release to Google Play, reducing rejections and failed edits.

Preconditions

Auth configured (gplay auth login or GPLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT env var).
Package name known (--package or GPLAY_PACKAGE).
AAB/APK built and signed.
Service account has at least "Release Manager" permission.

Prefer the First-Class Commands

The CLI has canonical, purpose-built commands. Reach for these before hand-scripting individual validators:

gplay validate --package <pkg> — the canonical release-readiness report. Combines local artifact/metadata/screenshot/release-note checks with remote track and listing state and Console-only follow-up items. Use --bundle, --listings-dir, --screenshots-dir, --track, and --strict (treat warnings as failures) to scope it.
```
gplay validate \
  --package com.example.app \
  --bundle app-release.aab \
  --track production \
  --strict
```
gplay preflight --file <app.aab> — offline AAB/APK compliance and hygiene. Fully decodes AndroidManifest.xml (binary AXML for APKs, aapt2 protobuf for App Bundles) and runs nine scanners: manifest, permissions, native_libs, metadata, secrets, billing, privacy, policy, size. No API calls and no credentials. Exit codes: 0 clean, 1 findings at/above --fail-on.
```
gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --max-size 150M --fail-on warning

# Validate the store listing in the same pass
gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --listings-dir ./metadata --fail-on error

# Narrow the gate
gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --only manifest,permissions,native_libs
```
See the gplay-preflight skill for what each scanner catches, how to read the findings, and CI gating patterns.

gplay checks upload — Google Checks compliance analysis as a CI gate. Use --severity-threshold PRIORITY to fail the pipeline on high-priority failed checks before release.

gplay checks upload \
  --account "$CHECKS_ACCOUNT" \
  --app "$CHECKS_APP" \
  --binary app-release.aab \
  --binary-type ANDROID_AAB \
  --severity-threshold PRIORITY

gplay publish track --strict — preflight + publish in one step. Builds the readiness report, stops on blocking issues (and warnings with --strict), then runs the release workflow only if preflight passes.
```
gplay publish track \
  --package com.example.app \
  --track production \
  --bundle app-release.aab \
  --release-notes @release-notes.json \
  --strict
```

The detailed per-artifact checks below remain useful for narrowing down a failure or for CI steps that gate on one concern at a time.

Pre-submission Checklist

1. Validate Bundle Integrity

gplay validate bundle --file app-release.aab

Checks:

File exists and is readable
File has .aab extension
Valid ZIP archive structure
Contains required bundle components (manifest, resources, dex)

If using APK instead:

gplay validate bundle --file app-release.apk

2. Validate Store Listing Metadata

gplay validate listing --dir ./metadata

Checks:

Title: max 30 characters
Short description: max 80 characters
Full description: max 4000 characters
Required fields present
Valid UTF-8 encoding

Validate a specific locale:

gplay validate listing --dir ./metadata --locale en-US

For JSON format metadata:

gplay validate listing --dir ./metadata --format json

3. Validate Screenshots

gplay validate screenshots --dir ./metadata

Checks:

Minimum 2 screenshots per device type
Maximum 8 screenshots per device type
Valid image formats (PNG, JPEG)
Files are readable

Validate for a specific locale:

gplay validate screenshots --dir ./metadata --locale en-US

4. Verify Existing Listings on Play Store

Compare local metadata against what is live:

gplay sync diff-listings \
  --package com.example.app \
  --dir ./metadata

Check all configured locales:

EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay listings list --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID --output table

5. Data Safety Declaration

Ensure the data safety form is complete. Missing or inaccurate data safety declarations are a common rejection reason.

gplay data-safety update \
  --package com.example.app \
  --json @data-safety.json

6. Version Code Check

The version code must be strictly higher than all previous releases on every track. Check current track status:

gplay tracks list --package com.example.app --output table

Get details for a specific track:

EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay tracks get --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID --track production --output table

7. Deobfuscation / Mapping File

Upload ProGuard/R8 mapping files so crash reports in Play Console are readable. This command is edit-scoped (needs --edit) and the version flag is --apk-version, not --version-code:

EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay deobfuscation upload \
  --package com.example.app \
  --edit $EDIT_ID \
  --apk-version 42 \
  --file mapping.txt
gplay edits commit --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID

Without mapping files, crash stack traces in Android Vitals will be obfuscated and unusable.

8. Dry Run the Release

The safest pre-submission check. Performs the full release pipeline without committing:

gplay release \
  --package com.example.app \
  --track production \
  --bundle app-release.aab \
  --release-notes @release-notes.json \
  --dry-run

This will:

Create an edit
Upload the bundle
Configure the track
Validate the edit (catches API-level errors)
Discard the edit without committing

If the dry run succeeds, the real release will succeed.

9. Edit Validation (Manual Sequence)

When using the manual edit workflow, always validate before committing:

EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')

# ... upload bundle, update tracks, etc. ...

# Validate the edit (catches all server-side issues)
gplay edits validate --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID

# Only commit if validation passes
gplay edits commit --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID

Content Policy Compliance

Target API Level

Google Play requires apps to target a recent Android API level, and raises the floor roughly every August to "latest release minus one". Both new apps and updates are affected; builds below the floor are rejected at upload.

Check the build without guessing at the current number:

# The policy scanner reports targetSdkVersion against Play's floor
gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --only policy

# Override the floor if Google's annual bump landed before a gplay release
gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --only policy --min-target-sdk 36

Fix it in build.gradle / build.gradle.kts:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        targetSdk = 35  // set to Play's current floor or higher
    }
}

Do not tell the user a specific required API level from memory — read it from the policy scanner output or from Play's published requirement.

Permissions Declarations

Sensitive permissions require justification in the Play Console:

ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION / ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION
READ_CONTACTS, READ_CALL_LOG, READ_SMS
CAMERA, RECORD_AUDIO
REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES

Remove any permissions your app does not actually need. Unused sensitive permissions are a top rejection reason.

Data Safety Form

All apps must have a complete data safety section. Common data types to declare:

Personal info (name, email, phone)
Location (approximate, precise)
Financial info (purchase history)
App activity (in-app search, other user-generated content)
Device identifiers (advertising ID)

App Content Ratings

Ensure your content rating questionnaire is completed in Play Console. Missing ratings block distribution.

Screenshot Requirements by Device Type

Device Type	Image Type	Min	Max	Min Resolution
Phone	`phoneScreenshots`	2	8	320px (min side)
7-inch Tablet	`sevenInchScreenshots`	0	8	320px (min side)
10-inch Tablet	`tenInchScreenshots`	0	8	320px (min side)
Android TV	`tvScreenshots`	0	8	1280x720
Wear OS	`wearScreenshots`	0	8	320px (min side)

Additional image assets:

Asset	Type	Required
Feature Graphic	`featureGraphic`	Yes (for featuring)
Promo Graphic	`promoGraphic`	No
Icon	`icon`	Set via Play Console
TV Banner	`tvBanner`	Required for TV apps

Common Rejection Reasons and Fixes

1. "Version code already exists"

Cause: The version code in your bundle matches an existing release. Fix: Increment versionCode in build.gradle and rebuild.

2. "APK/Bundle targets an SDK below the required level"

Cause: targetSdkVersion is too low. Fix: Update targetSdkVersion to 34 or higher and rebuild.

3. "Data safety form incomplete"

Cause: The data safety declaration is missing or incomplete. Fix: Complete the data safety form in Play Console or update via CLI:

gplay data-safety update --package com.example.app --json @data-safety.json

4. "Screenshots missing for required device type"

Cause: Phone screenshots are required for all apps. Fix: Add at least 2 phone screenshots:

EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay images upload \
  --package com.example.app \
  --edit $EDIT_ID \
  --locale en-US \
  --type phoneScreenshots \
  --file screenshot1.png

5. "Release notes missing for default locale"

Cause: No "What's New" text for the default language. Fix: Include release notes in the release command:

gplay release \
  --package com.example.app \
  --track production \
  --bundle app.aab \
  --release-notes '{"en-US": "Bug fixes and improvements"}'

6. "Signing key mismatch"

Cause: The bundle is signed with a different key than what Play Console expects. Fix: Use the same upload key configured in Play App Signing. Check your keystore configuration.

7. "Deobfuscation file too large"

Cause: Mapping file exceeds 300 MB limit. Fix: Strip unused mappings or compress the file.

Pre-launch Report

Google Play runs automated tests on your app before review (pre-launch report). Common issues surfaced:

Crashes on launch: App crashes on one or more test devices
Security vulnerabilities: Known CVEs in dependencies
Accessibility issues: Missing content descriptions, small touch targets
Performance warnings: Slow startup, excessive wake locks

Check pre-launch reports in Play Console after uploading to any track. Address critical issues before promoting to production.

# Google Play Submission Checks

Use this skill to validate everything before submitting a release to Google Play, reducing rejections and failed edits.

## Preconditions
- Auth configured (`gplay auth login` or `GPLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT` env var).
- Package name known (`--package` or `GPLAY_PACKAGE`).
- AAB/APK built and signed.
- Service account has at least "Release Manager" permission.

## Prefer the First-Class Commands

The CLI has canonical, purpose-built commands. Reach for these before
hand-scripting individual validators:

- **`gplay validate --package <pkg>`** — the canonical release-readiness report.
  Combines local artifact/metadata/screenshot/release-note checks with remote
  track and listing state and Console-only follow-up items. Use `--bundle`,
  `--listings-dir`, `--screenshots-dir`, `--track`, and `--strict` (treat
  warnings as failures) to scope it.

  ```bash
  gplay validate \
    --package com.example.app \
    --bundle app-release.aab \
    --track production \
    --strict
  ```

- **`gplay preflight --file <app.aab>`** — offline AAB/APK compliance and
  hygiene. Fully decodes `AndroidManifest.xml` (binary AXML for APKs, aapt2
  protobuf for App Bundles) and runs nine scanners: `manifest`, `permissions`,
  `native_libs`, `metadata`, `secrets`, `billing`, `privacy`, `policy`, `size`.
  No API calls and no credentials. Exit codes: 0 clean, 1 findings at/above
  `--fail-on`.

  ```bash
  gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --max-size 150M --fail-on warning

  # Validate the store listing in the same pass
  gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --listings-dir ./metadata --fail-on error

  # Narrow the gate
  gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --only manifest,permissions,native_libs
  ```

  **See the `gplay-preflight` skill** for what each scanner catches, how to read
  the findings, and CI gating patterns.

- **`gplay checks upload`** — Google Checks compliance analysis as a CI gate.
  Use `--severity-threshold PRIORITY` to fail the pipeline on high-priority
  failed checks before release.

  ```bash
  gplay checks upload \
    --account "$CHECKS_ACCOUNT" \
    --app "$CHECKS_APP" \
    --binary app-release.aab \
    --binary-type ANDROID_AAB \
    --severity-threshold PRIORITY
  ```

- **`gplay publish track --strict`** — preflight + publish in one step. Builds
  the readiness report, stops on blocking issues (and warnings with `--strict`),
  then runs the release workflow only if preflight passes.

  ```bash
  gplay publish track \
    --package com.example.app \
    --track production \
    --bundle app-release.aab \
    --release-notes @release-notes.json \
    --strict
  ```

The detailed per-artifact checks below remain useful for narrowing down a
failure or for CI steps that gate on one concern at a time.

## Pre-submission Checklist

### 1. Validate Bundle Integrity

```bash
gplay validate bundle --file app-release.aab
```

Checks:
- File exists and is readable
- File has `.aab` extension
- Valid ZIP archive structure
- Contains required bundle components (manifest, resources, dex)

If using APK instead:
```bash
gplay validate bundle --file app-release.apk
```

### 2. Validate Store Listing Metadata

```bash
gplay validate listing --dir ./metadata
```

Checks:
- **Title**: max 30 characters
- **Short description**: max 80 characters
- **Full description**: max 4000 characters
- Required fields present
- Valid UTF-8 encoding

Validate a specific locale:
```bash
gplay validate listing --dir ./metadata --locale en-US
```

For JSON format metadata:
```bash
gplay validate listing --dir ./metadata --format json
```

### 3. Validate Screenshots

```bash
gplay validate screenshots --dir ./metadata
```

Checks:
- Minimum 2 screenshots per device type
- Maximum 8 screenshots per device type
- Valid image formats (PNG, JPEG)
- Files are readable

Validate for a specific locale:
```bash
gplay validate screenshots --dir ./metadata --locale en-US
```

### 4. Verify Existing Listings on Play Store

Compare local metadata against what is live:
```bash
gplay sync diff-listings \
  --package com.example.app \
  --dir ./metadata
```

Check all configured locales:
```bash
EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay listings list --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID --output table
```

### 5. Data Safety Declaration

Ensure the data safety form is complete. Missing or inaccurate data safety declarations are a common rejection reason.

```bash
gplay data-safety update \
  --package com.example.app \
  --json @data-safety.json
```

### 6. Version Code Check

The version code must be strictly higher than all previous releases on every track. Check current track status:

```bash
gplay tracks list --package com.example.app --output table
```

Get details for a specific track:
```bash
EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay tracks get --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID --track production --output table
```

### 7. Deobfuscation / Mapping File

Upload ProGuard/R8 mapping files so crash reports in Play Console are readable.
This command is **edit-scoped** (needs `--edit`) and the version flag is
`--apk-version`, not `--version-code`:

```bash
EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay deobfuscation upload \
  --package com.example.app \
  --edit $EDIT_ID \
  --apk-version 42 \
  --file mapping.txt
gplay edits commit --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID
```

Without mapping files, crash stack traces in Android Vitals will be obfuscated and unusable.

### 8. Dry Run the Release

The safest pre-submission check. Performs the full release pipeline without committing:

```bash
gplay release \
  --package com.example.app \
  --track production \
  --bundle app-release.aab \
  --release-notes @release-notes.json \
  --dry-run
```

This will:
- Create an edit
- Upload the bundle
- Configure the track
- **Validate** the edit (catches API-level errors)
- Discard the edit without committing

If the dry run succeeds, the real release will succeed.

### 9. Edit Validation (Manual Sequence)

When using the manual edit workflow, always validate before committing:

```bash
EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')

# ... upload bundle, update tracks, etc. ...

# Validate the edit (catches all server-side issues)
gplay edits validate --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID

# Only commit if validation passes
gplay edits commit --package com.example.app --edit $EDIT_ID
```

## Content Policy Compliance

### Target API Level

Google Play requires apps to target a recent Android API level, and raises the
floor roughly every August to "latest release minus one". Both new apps and
updates are affected; builds below the floor are rejected at upload.

Check the build without guessing at the current number:

```bash
# The policy scanner reports targetSdkVersion against Play's floor
gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --only policy

# Override the floor if Google's annual bump landed before a gplay release
gplay preflight --file app-release.aab --only policy --min-target-sdk 36
```

Fix it in `build.gradle` / `build.gradle.kts`:

```
android {
    defaultConfig {
        targetSdk = 35  // set to Play's current floor or higher
    }
}
```

Do not tell the user a specific required API level from memory — read it from
the `policy` scanner output or from Play's published requirement.

### Permissions Declarations
Sensitive permissions require justification in the Play Console:
- `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` / `ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION`
- `READ_CONTACTS`, `READ_CALL_LOG`, `READ_SMS`
- `CAMERA`, `RECORD_AUDIO`
- `REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES`
- `QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES`

Remove any permissions your app does not actually need. Unused sensitive permissions are a top rejection reason.

### Data Safety Form
All apps must have a complete data safety section. Common data types to declare:
- Personal info (name, email, phone)
- Location (approximate, precise)
- Financial info (purchase history)
- App activity (in-app search, other user-generated content)
- Device identifiers (advertising ID)

### App Content Ratings
Ensure your content rating questionnaire is completed in Play Console. Missing ratings block distribution.

## Screenshot Requirements by Device Type

| Device Type | Image Type | Min | Max | Min Resolution |
|-------------|-----------|-----|-----|----------------|
| Phone | `phoneScreenshots` | 2 | 8 | 320px (min side) |
| 7-inch Tablet | `sevenInchScreenshots` | 0 | 8 | 320px (min side) |
| 10-inch Tablet | `tenInchScreenshots` | 0 | 8 | 320px (min side) |
| Android TV | `tvScreenshots` | 0 | 8 | 1280x720 |
| Wear OS | `wearScreenshots` | 0 | 8 | 320px (min side) |

Additional image assets:
| Asset | Type | Required |
|-------|------|----------|
| Feature Graphic | `featureGraphic` | Yes (for featuring) |
| Promo Graphic | `promoGraphic` | No |
| Icon | `icon` | Set via Play Console |
| TV Banner | `tvBanner` | Required for TV apps |

## Common Rejection Reasons and Fixes

### 1. "Version code already exists"
**Cause**: The version code in your bundle matches an existing release.
**Fix**: Increment `versionCode` in `build.gradle` and rebuild.

### 2. "APK/Bundle targets an SDK below the required level"
**Cause**: `targetSdkVersion` is too low.
**Fix**: Update `targetSdkVersion` to 34 or higher and rebuild.

### 3. "Data safety form incomplete"
**Cause**: The data safety declaration is missing or incomplete.
**Fix**: Complete the data safety form in Play Console or update via CLI:
```bash
gplay data-safety update --package com.example.app --json @data-safety.json
```

### 4. "Screenshots missing for required device type"
**Cause**: Phone screenshots are required for all apps.
**Fix**: Add at least 2 phone screenshots:
```bash
EDIT_ID=$(gplay edits create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.id')
gplay images upload \
  --package com.example.app \
  --edit $EDIT_ID \
  --locale en-US \
  --type phoneScreenshots \
  --file screenshot1.png
```

### 5. "Release notes missing for default locale"
**Cause**: No "What's New" text for the default language.
**Fix**: Include release notes in the release command:
```bash
gplay release \
  --package com.example.app \
