After publication

A release becomes “Published” when the app is available and SiteCargo has saved a link to at least one store. The second link may appear later because Apple and Google complete publication independently.

The available “Open in App Store” and “Open in Google Play” buttons appear in the green section on the “Distribution” tab and in the publication email.

What to check

1. Open the link in the relevant store country and install the app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Check the first launch, sign-in, menu, and main user action.
3. Send a test push notification and make sure analytics receives events.
4. Check the name, icon, screenshots, and support contact on the store listing.

If an approved link does not open yet, wait for the catalog to update and check the account region. If the problem persists, send SiteCargo the link, country, and a screenshot of the error.

Store links belong to the app and remain the same through updates. The shared short link and QR code, if configured, are on the “Promo” tab.

After the first release, the subscription starts with a free first month. The publication option becomes fixed for the app. Use “Release update” for the next version — no new initial setup invoice is created.
