When you submit your app for approval, Salesforce sends the final apps to Google Play and the App Store. Google and Apple review the apps to make sure they adhere to the application store guidelines. Although you’re about to submit the apps in Salesforce, they aren’t immediately available in Google Play and the App Store.
- From Setup, enter Mobile Publisher in the Quick Find box, then select Mobile Publisher.
-
Click Continue next to the listing for the iOS app.
Note To make edits, click the Make Changes button. On the App Information page, you can upload revised brand assets or change the values in the fields. Then follow the same steps again: Request a new managed package, install it, and request a beta to verify the changes. The Make Changes button is available only after a beta app or live app is delivered. -
Click Submit for Review.
Salesforce submits the app to the app store for review. It can take up to 2 weeks for the store to review and approve your app. During that time, you can’t make any changes to the app.
- Repeat the same steps for the Android app.
If there’s an issue during the approval process, Google and Apple can reject the app. If the app is rejected, Salesforce emails you and lets you know exactly how to resolve any issues.
You can stagger your app update rollout by the percentage of app users. For example, you can start rolling out the update to 1% of users and then 5% of users. If no issues are discovered, you can incrementally increase the percentage.
We also recommend against rolling out an app update before a weekend or holiday, so that any issues can be addressed quickly.
