  • Your final Android application file (APK) to be uploaded. It must be under 50MB in size to be accepted.

  • The title for your app (max 30 characters).

  • A description of your app (max 4000 characters).

  • High-res icon, 512 x 512 32-bit PNG (with alpha).

At least 2 screenshots are required overall (Max 8 screenshots per type), JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha). Min length for any side: 320px. Max length for any side: 3840px. (You can upload a maximum of 8 screenshots per type. Types include "Phone", "7-inch tablet" and "10-inch tablet".)

  • Optional items that can be updated later include:

  • Optional promo text (80 characters) and promo graphic. Promo graphic needs to be 180w x 120 h -JPG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha).

  • Screenshots: Only 2 are required, but you can upload a maximum of 8 screenshots per type. Types include "Phone", "7-inch tablet" and "10-inch tablet".

  • Feature graphic: 1024w x 500h JPG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha).
