How to Apply for Google Play Store Upload
Q. What if I want to post a Swing2App app on the Play Store?
First, you need to make a paid conversion so that the app can be placed on the market.
You can purchase the Play Store upload ticket along with the payment of the swing2app paid ticket on the Manager page → Online Stores → Swing2App Voucher and Ticket Purchase page.
Then the app will go to the market… Think about it!
Just because you made a payment does not mean your app will be released on the Play Store.
[Apply for Play Store upload] can be registered in the market after the representative checks the app.
Q. Where and how do I apply for upload?
Application for upload goes to the swing2app Manager page → Manage Version → Production History.
You can find [Play Store Upload Request] on this page.
Pressing the corresponding button brings up the application form window.
Please fill out the form and the representative will upload the app to the Play Store.
Q. When I upload, will the app be released to the Play Store immediately?
Swing2App will upload your app to the Google Play Store on your behalf.
However, the app will not be released immediately after the upload. It must first go through Google’s app review process.
The Google Play review process may take up to 10 days.
*For new developer accounts, the review may take longer than 10 days.
Therefore, uploading the app does not mean that it will be available on the Google Play Store immediately.
If no issues are found during the review, the app will be published on the Google Play Store once the review is completed.
However, if the app is rejected during the review process, additional changes and re-submission may be required.
In such cases, it may take longer for the app to be released.
Q.A Google Developer account is required to register and publish an app on the Google Play Store.
How do I create a Google Developer account?
To publish an app on Google Play, you must have your own Google Developer account.
For developer accounts created after November 2023, you must select “Organization” as the account type.
Apps cannot be published using a newly created Personal Developer account. Personal Developer accounts created before November 2023 may still be eligible for app publishing.

1) The upload ticket fee of $20 is charged per upload request.
If you need to update an app that has already been released, or modify information on the store such as the app description or screenshots, you must purchase another upload ticket and submit a new upload request.
App updates are also subject to review. The update process usually takes approximately 1–3 days.
2) For Google Play, you can make changes directly in the Google Play Console without purchasing an upload ticket.
Since the app is registered under your own Google Developer account, you may log in to the Google Play Console and update the app information yourself at any time.
3) The Google Play review process may take up to 10 days.
If no issues are found during the review, the app will be released after the review is completed.
Upload requests submitted on weekends or outside business hours cannot be processed on the same day. Requests are handled sequentially during regular business hours on weekdays.
If the app is rejected during review, we will send you an email explaining the reason for rejection and the required actions.
Re-submission after a rejection is provided at no additional cost.
Once you receive the email, you must reply after completing the requested actions so that we can proceed with the re-submission.
If we do not receive a response within one week, the upload request will be placed on hold. You may contact us again later to resume the review process.
4) Before submitting a Google Play upload request, you must create your own Google Developer account in advance.
A one-time Google Developer registration fee of USD 25 applies.

5) Swing2App does not make Google Developer account payments on behalf of users.
You must create and use your own individual Google Developer account.
6) Swing2App does not provide upload services for paid apps on Google Play.
Our Google Play upload service is available only for apps that are distributed for free.
We do not provide upload assistance for paid app releases.
7) Unused upload tickets are eligible for a 100% refund.
However, once a ticket has been used to submit an upload request, it cannot be refunded.
This also applies if the app is rejected during review or is ultimately not released successfully. Once the app registration process has been initiated using the ticket, the ticket is considered used and is non-refundable.
8) Even after an app is successfully released on Google Play, it may not immediately appear in search results when searching by the app name.
To help prevent indiscriminate app publishing, Google may evaluate factors such as app activity and installation volume before making an app more visible in search results.
Therefore, if your app does not appear immediately when searching by its name, this does not necessarily indicate a problem.
Please allow some time for the app to become searchable. Increasing the number of installations and receiving user ratings and reviews may also help improve the app's visibility.
