Best practices
-
Use pre-launch reports prior to publishing your update to identify and fix issues before they impact your users
-
After testing your app, create a release in the production track to publish it to all users. Be familiar with the three types of publishing status to understand what happens after you submit your app.
-
Once your app submission is approved, decide when to publish your app with managed publishing, instead of it going live immediately after approval
-
After you've published your app, monitor your Android vitals to quickly identify issues and bad behaviors that affect users on specific devices and Android versions
