This page compares what the App Store and Google Play charge and ask for, from your developer account to your app’s release. To see the same comparison in FlutterFlow, go to Releases, select How releasing works in the header, and then select Store requirements and fees.

Fees and developer accounts

Each store needs its own developer account. You pay each fee to Apple or Google per account, not per app.

	App Store	Google Play
Account	Apple Developer Program membership	Google Play developer account
Fee	US$99 a year	US$25, one time
What you need to sign up	An Apple Account with two-factor sign-in, a photo ID, and an iPhone, iPad, or Mac	A photo ID. A personal account also needs an Android phone.
Identity verification	Required. Check your enrollment status with Apple. FlutterFlow can’t check it for you.	Required. Check your verification status in Play Console. A personal account also needs Android device verification.
Verification time	Varies	Varies

To sign up for each account, see Developer accounts.

Testing and review

Each store tests and reviews every version of your app independently:

Stage	App Store	Google Play
Test	Add the uploaded version and your testers to a TestFlight group. Testers install it with TestFlight on an iPhone. External testing might require Apple’s review.	Add testers to a closed test. New personal accounts must meet Google’s testing requirements before public release.
Review	Submit the version for Apple’s review. Review times vary.	Submit the version for Google’s review. Review times vary. You might need to complete the first public release in Play Console.
Live	Your app is available on the App Store.	Your app is available on Google Play for Android.

A new personal Google Play developer account requires 12 testers opted in continuously for 14 days before you can apply to release your app publicly. See Add testers.

Before reviewing a version, Apple asks for the age rating and App Privacy in App Store Connect, and Google asks for the content rating and Data safety in Play Console. See Finish console setup.

FlutterFlow builds your app for iPhone only, so the App Store requires no iPad screenshots.

App file sizes

FlutterFlow builds app files up to these size limits:

File	Used for	Largest size
iPhone app (.ipa)	TestFlight and the App Store	190 MB
Google Play file (.aab)	Google Play	190 MB
Android app (.apk)	Installing on an Android phone yourself	95 MB
