The client owns its distribution decisions
Decide who owns the Play Console account, app signing arrangements and publication approvals. Commercially important assets should not depend on an undocumented personal account.
Policy review is technical work
Check target SDK deadlines, permission declarations, app content, privacy disclosures, testing requirements and third-party SDK behaviour. Requirements may change, so review official policy near release.
Stage releases thoughtfully
Use internal and controlled testing as appropriate, perform device compatibility checks and prepare store assets that accurately describe current functionality.
Monitor after launch
Track rejected submissions, crash trends, bad reviews and server errors. Keep a documented escalation path for production incidents.
