GPD Submission Health

Use this skill to reduce Play Console submission failures and validate readiness.

Preconditions

• Auth configured and package name resolved.
• Build uploaded and available for the target track.
• Store listing metadata and assets updated.

Pre-submission checklist

1. Validate edit (if using edit lifecycle)

gpd publish edit validate EDIT_ID --package com.example.app

2. Confirm release status

gpd publish status --package com.example.app --track production

Check:

• Release status is expected (draft, inProgress, or completed).
• Version code matches the uploaded build.

3. Verify store listing metadata

gpd publish listing get --package com.example.app
gpd publish details get --package com.example.app

4. Verify screenshots and assets

gpd publish images list phoneScreenshots --package com.example.app --locale en-US
gpd publish assets spec

5. Upload deobfuscation mapping (if needed)

gpd publish deobfuscation upload mapping.txt --package com.example.app --type proguard --version-code 123

Submit to production

gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track production --status inProgress --version-code 123

Common submission issues

Release not in valid state

Check:

1. Version code uploaded and attached to the track.
2. Edit validation passes.
3. Required store listing fields present for all locales.

Missing screenshots or assets

Use:

gpd publish images list phoneScreenshots --package com.example.app --locale en-US
gpd publish images upload icon icon.png --package com.example.app --locale en-US

Policy declarations not complete

Some policy/compliance items must be completed in Play Console UI. Confirm in the console if CLI operations pass but submission is blocked.

Notes

• Use gpd publish edit validate before committing large changes.
• Use --dry-run where available before destructive actions.
