App settings and publishing
Branding, app settings, and getting onto Google Play.
Every app project — generated or converted — has a settings screen for the things a store asks about and the app itself displays.
Identity and branding
- App name — what appears under the icon. Short enough not to be truncated on a home screen.
- Icon — supply the largest square version you have; smaller sizes are derived from it.
- Splash screen — what shows while the app starts.
- Theme colours — the accents used throughout the app.
- Package identifier — the unique id the store knows your app by. Set it before your first submission; changing it afterwards means publishing a new app rather than an update.
The package identifier is permanent
Once an app is live under an identifier, that identifier is fixed for its lifetime. Use the reverse-domain form — com.yourbusiness.appname — and get it right the first time.
Google Play
Play Store Connect links your Google Play developer account to Woxelo so builds can be sent to Play directly, instead of downloading a file and uploading it by hand. You need a Google Play developer account, which Google charges a one-off fee for.
Before you submit
- Open every screen and check nothing is placeholder text.
- Confirm the icon and splash screen are yours, not the defaults.
- Have a privacy policy at a public URL ready — both stores require one, and Woxelo will generate it.
- Prepare screenshots and a description. Store listings need them and they hold up submissions more often than the app does.
Review takes days, not minutes, and a rejection is normal on a first submission. Read the reason, fix it, resubmit — you do not lose your place.
