Publishing Journey Checklist - Solana Mobile Docs

Publishing Journey

At a high level, the publishing process can be simplified into these steps:

Build an Android APK

The dApp Publishing tool requires you to submit an Android APK of your app.

If you already have an Android app (e.g Published to Google Play Store), you can generate a release build APK.

If you have a web app, follow this guide to convert it to an Android app and generate an APK for submission.

IMPORTANTEnsure you are submitting a release build of your app that is signed. Debug builds will not be accepted

Test on an Android device

To ensure a great user experience, we recommend developers to thoroughly test their app to catch any bugs/crashes/issues.

You do not need a Solana Mobile device to test your app, you can just test against a comparable Android device or emulator.

If using Mobile Wallet Adapter, test your app’s connect and signing flows with popular MWA wallets like Phantom and Solflare.

If your app content is gated (e.g beta access, NFT-gated), prepare a test account with full access for App Review.

Prepare your App Listing Page

Your app’s listing page is what gives users the first impression of your app. You’ll want to prepare ahead of time, assets like your app icon, screenshots/videos, and text content.

See the Listing Page guidelines to visualize your app’s listing page and learn best practices.

Proceed to App Submission!

Once you are ready for publishing, you can follow the step-by-step App Submission guide to submit your app. The publishing process is completely self service, so it can be started whenever you are ready!

After finished, your app will be in queue for App Review and, using your provided contact details, we will reach out to you if any questions are needed.

App Promotion

For questions regarding promoting your app after launching, see our Marketing & Partnership documentation.
