FAQ

Why .aab and not .apk?▾

Google has required .aab (Android App Bundle) for the Play Store since 2021. Users still receive an .apk on their phone — Google generates it from your .aab.

How long does the review take?▾

First release is usually 1–3 days, sometimes up to a week. Updates are faster.

Can I update without a new review?▾

No — every change goes through review, but updates are usually approved within 1–2 days.

Can I test before paying the $25?▾

Yes! Testing on your phone is completely free. The QR code works right away. You only pay $25 when you decide to publish to Google Play.
