Submit for review

From Releases, submit a version of your app to Apple and Google for review. Each store then receives the version, and Releases tracks its review progress. Owners and developers can submit for review.

First, send the version to testers and answer each store’s questions in its console. See Send to testers and Finish console setup.

Submit

When you submit for review, you send the version that your testers have. Changes that you pushed after that version aren’t in it. To include them, send a new version to testers first.

To submit a version for review:

  1. Open Releases.

  2. In the bar at the top, select Send for review.

  3. To submit to one store only, clear the other store’s checkbox.

  4. If the drawer shows Before review, fill in what it asks for:

    • Privacy policy link: the address of your app’s privacy policy. Both stores show it on your app’s page.
    • Description: the description of your app for the stores.

    When you submit, FlutterFlow saves these to Store listing.

  5. For an update to a store where your app is already live, fill in What’s new. People see it with this update. The App Store needs it for every update, and Google Play shows the first 500 characters.

  6. For an update on Google Play, choose a Google Play rollout. See Google Play rollout.

  7. Select Send for review.

FlutterFlow sends your store listing and your app’s store pictures to each store, and then submits the version. If a store’s console already has screenshots that differ from your app’s current ones, including ones FlutterFlow sent earlier, FlutterFlow keeps them and doesn’t send its own.

Google Play rollout

When your app is already on Google Play, an update can go first to some of the people who use your app. The Google Play rollout list appears in the drawer only for an update.

Select one of the following:

  • Everyone
  • 10% of people
  • 25% of people
  • 50% of people

After Google approves and publishes the update, it reaches the percentage of people that you selected. To increase the rollout percentage later, use Play Console.

After you submit

Each store reviews the version independently:

Store What happens next
App Store Apple reviews the version before release. While Apple reviews it, the store’s card says “Apple is reviewing 0.1”. To make changes after you submit, withdraw the version in App Store Connect. If Apple asks for changes, see Apple change requests.
Google Play, first release FlutterFlow submits the first release to Google Play as a draft. Start the rollout yourself in Play Console: the store’s card says “Roll 0.1 out in Play Console”, with Open Play Console. You can submit later updates from Releases.
Google Play, update Google reviews the update. After Google approves and publishes it, the update reaches the percentage of people that you selected. If the store’s card says “Publish 0.1 in Play Console” or “Send 0.1 for review in Play Console”, finish that step in Play Console with Open Play Console.

For every status that Releases shows, see Release status.

Troubleshooting

  • If the drawer says “Release details changed. Review the latest versions before submitting.”, the version, the app’s App ID, or a store connection changed while the drawer was open. Select Review latest versions, and then submit again.
  • If a store refuses the version, or you see a review state that you don’t expect, see Troubleshoot phone builds and store releases.
