One, foreword
Have to admire the domestic Android market, in addition to Huawei application market was rejected can reply and appeal, other markets is a message to inform you, do not give you the opportunity to appeal, small developers are completely in a vulnerable group, really a long story!
Here’s what happened: As a fan of tomato clocks, I previously created a Flutter project on GitHub: iPomodoro github.com/iHTCboy/iPo… “, and then after the Apple AppStore, I wanted to share happiness so that more people can use it, so I considered the Android store, and then found that the pit here is even worse than the Apple store! Sure enough, free is always the worst ~ (Apple developer annual fee 688 RMB)
So, this article is to tread pit together, spit fun! (Skip to the end of this article if you want to see the results.)
Two, Android App shelves point north
First, let’s take a look at the mainstream (and non-mainstream) Android stores right now:
| market | Open Platform official website |
|---|---|
| Google Play | Play.google.com/apps/publis… |
| Application of treasure | open.qq.com/ |
| Baidu Mobile Assistant | app.baidu.com/ |
| 360 Mobile Assistant | dev.360.cn/ |
| Vivo App Store | dev.vivo.com.cn/ |
| OPPO App Store (OnePlus) | open.oppomobile.com/ |
| Xiaomi App Store | dev.mi.com/ |
| Huawei App Market | Developer.huawei.com/consumer/cn… |
| Ali Application Distribution Platform (Wandoujia) | open.uc.cn/ |
| Sogou mobile assistant | zhushou.sogou.com/open/ |
| Hammer App Store | dev.smartisan.com/ |
| Meizu App Store | open.flyme.cn/ |
| Gionee Software Store | open.appgionee.com/ |
| Android market | dev.anzhi.com/ |
| Cool Ann market | developer.coolapk.com |
| Legend Music Store | open.lenovo.com/ |
| Samsung App Developer Platform | Support-cn.samsung.com/App/Develop… |
Google Play
The Google Store is the largest Android store in the world. In addition to the one-time registration fee of $25, it has the most complete features so far. Note that it is US dollars, so only the following bank cards (credit cards) are supported:
- mastercard
- Visa
- American Express
- Discover (US only)
- Visa Electron (Outside the US)
Register portal:
- Payment method and receipt for developer account registration – Help from Play Admin
- Registered Play Console
Need manual review, Google background has an obvious prompt:
The review will now take longer than usual
Due to the current shift in working hours, the review time for apps may be longer than usual.
conclusion
Google store has been manually reviewing apps since last year, so the first review takes about four to five days. The subsequent version is updated and is currently reviewed in about half an hour. The integration of Google Store is not difficult, the integrity of the store background is the best, many functions, but the interface is very clear, here will not say more, give 100 points! You can choose the operation function you want:
Download address:
- Love Tomato – iPomodoro – App on Google Play
Tencent App Treasure
Application treasure is pit, submitted several times, still rejected, must be “Computer Software copyright”
Dear developers,
Your uploaded mobile application is not approved online, please check it.
App name: Love Tomato
Installation package: com.ihtcboy.ipomodoro
Reason: The application has a copyright problem and the application software copyright certificate is required. Please upload the scanned copy of relevant materials or upload the electronic copyright certificate to the Copyright Certificate Office and submit it again. Consulting with
See wiki: wiki.open.qq.com/wiki/%E5%BA…
Please go to the Application Overview page to view and modify.
System automatically issued, please do not reply.
I was going to give it up, but when I put it on other stores, I found that when I was questioned and reviewed, I was prompted:
This is Tencent! Just crawling apps from other stores! TMD! The developers themselves have been rejected many times! You secretly took it from someone else, completely ignoring the owner of the App! Are you angry? More aggravating things are to come!
You said “claim the app”, we can claim it by ourselves, individual developers developed their own apps, have to claim it by themselves, ridiculous?
Click “Claim Application” to display:
I also want to ask you to use the new ID or the old ID, I worked hard to compile the application data, you let me use my new ID, the brain is not good!
The last step, need to use their own package signature to Tencent verification, then give it!
Sign apk with the specified keystore:
jarsigner -verbose -keystore xxx.jks -signedjar xxx_signed.apk xxx.apk alias_key
Copy the codeNote: The last parameter is keyAlias, which is the alias of the signature file.
Results, you can’t think of, such a claim, unexpectedly not through! You tell me, I proved myself to be myself, and then you tell me, we still don’t know you, MMP!
Notification of approval: Notification of rejection of application approval Dear developers: Hello! The mobile application “Love Tomato” (1111481385) you submitted failed to be verified, the reason is: Hello, this application cannot be claimed online, you need to provide screenshots of overseas market background to claim work order operation, if you have any questions, please consult the enterprise QQ: 800013811- manual customer service to support application bao, thank you! , modify the related information and submit the application again.
System automatically issued, please do not reply.
The most irritating is: enterprise QQ: 800013811 -> manual customer service -> application treasure support
Notice these words! A chat software is not compatible with their own things? ?
Low version QQ, enterprise QQQQMac version, QQ chat version, TIM may not be able to access the manual, please use the latest version of WindowsQQ, please understand ~
Add TIM as a friend, click “Mobile App -> Human Customer Service”, and sure enough! Nothing! Or switch to QQ, finally, you really can’t think of, he told you what answer!!
About the problem you feedback application to claim, please click here (wiki.open.qq.com/index.php?t… ~
What a big man! Claim application audit failed notice! And then let you QQ contact, and then he didn’t tell you, click here (wiki.open.qq.com/index.php?t…
Couldn’t you have included a link to this document in your reply?!
Such a document, in order to improve the activity of QQ? KPI of customer service? Thought many years ago joked about iOS integration QQ share function alone helpless pain experience | iHTCboy ‘s blog.
Also note:
Sorry, customer service xiao Bao could not locate the solution to your problem ~ You can try another way to ask questions, or send “artificial” to enter the artificial customer service, artificial customer online time: 09:30-18:00
If you are not 09:30-18:00, then you have to wait until tomorrow to get this application claim – Tencent open platform document! Think about it and laugh ~
If online claim is not successful, manual claim is required and can be applied for claim work order processing
Application entry: Developer account login → Create application to be claimed → Go to the application management page → Basic Services → Work order system → Application Treasure business category → Application manual claim → Fill in application submission
If you haven’t used Tencent open platform or know little about it, I guarantee you can’t find the entrance at all! After some searching:
To tell the truth, Tencent open platform OPEN.QQ.COM UI interface and adaptation, feeling with 2015 no difference! Or not at all. Interface is very uncomfortable ~ compared with wechat will not say more.
Customer service feedback hello, the application manual claim needs to upload the [soft] application and provide complete foreign market normal online with the name of the application before and background screenshots (foreign market application author should be the same as the author of the open); (1) The scanned copy of soft copy is not provided after verification; (2) Failed to provide complete screenshots before and after the normal launch of the application with the same name in the foreign market (the author of the application in the foreign market should be the same as the author of the application in the open market);
After rectification, please re-submit the work order and relevant certificates should be provided in a work order, please note, thank you. Note: Please provide the screenshots of the application from the front and background of the overseas market (huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo) to the screenshots of the work order
Summary finally, application treasure still wants “computer software copyright” ability to put on the shelf and claim! Developers themselves can not fight, but competitors on the shelves, Tencent or secretly “copy”, at least developers, calculate a skin? Give up app Treasure!
Note: Finally, one more joke (run:
32-bit installation packages are a must! As a developer, I have to accept that this is because the background does not change the version, resulting in consistent retention of such mandatory options? Or is app Bao no longer used?
Baidu Mobile Assistant
Baidu this background is also very silly, click “application distribution”, and then such as play landing interface, landing success, jump back, the result is not landing success, has been repeatedly so, because the Apple computer thought is using Safari browser, changed Google Chrome or the same, is it to download “Baidu browser”? Anyway, I will not download, so, Baidu application store, goodbye!
360 Mobile Assistant
360 usually does not use, has been using apple computer and mobile phone, more than 7 years, 360 mobile phone probably no more, 360 software store, traffic should not be small, so I did not apply for.
Vivo App Store
Vivo mobile phone on variety more now, the plan is to apply for. Results TMD, personal account is not open registration temporarily!
It’s awesome! No more individual developers!
OPPO app store
Failed to log in to Safari.
To ensure a better user experience, you are advised to use the Speed mode of Chrome or QQ or 360.
Good! You cow force! You are good! And it turns out, sorry! Individual developers are not welcome:
Xiaomi App Store
Xiaomi was also rejected, not because it wanted computer software copyright, but because it rejected it outright:
Dear developer iHTCboy: Hello!
We regret to inform you that your application “iPomodoro” (package name: com.ihtcboy.ipomodoro) was not approved. We found the following problems in your application in our review, and please revise it as soon as possible and submit it to us again. We are very happy to review again whether it meets the requirements of Xiaomi App Store for you: 1. The application shall not be a simple website page packaging or template application, content aggregation or listing links
Please go to xiaomi Open Platform to modify your application according to the reason of rejection, and submit it for testing again.
If you have any questions about the audit results, please contact the mi App Store & MI Game Center team to solve them for you. For developer review questions, please provide your registered email address and registered mobile phone number. For application review questions, please provide your application name and package name, and explain the detailed questions and then feed back to the work order system.
For game application problems, please contact the team of Xiaomi Game Center to solve them. Email: [email protected].
Xiaomi App Store & Xiaomi Game Center Team 2021-03-04
Submitted twice, same thing: “Apps should not be simple web page packaging or templates, content aggregation or listing links!”
There is no direct reply function, so you have to fill in the feedback form and wait for them to reply. Again, developers are the underdog!
But, in the end or trial! So, if I hadn’t told you, you might never have guessed! I was how to review millet store, finally I actually rely on a sentence:
This app has been put on Apple and Google Stores, can be searched in the store, is not a template app, I hope you can see it. Apps.apple.com/cn/app/ipom… , play.google.com/store/apps/…
Fill in the remarks here:
To sum up, xiaomi store is still more human and flexible! Inform them that the App should be a complete App if both Apple and Google notify them!
Finally, we have to make fun of the picture requirements of millet store. We must upload the picture according to the required size, or we will not be prompted if it is uploaded, and it is neededOne by oneYou can’t imagine that the Web does not support multiple image uploads, you also make a drag upload box!
Millet download address: app.xiaomi.com/detail/1341…
Huawei App Market
Huawei application market registration is relatively smooth, the background is also very modern.
Need to register is, do not register VPN, or you will register into a foreign region account. Foreign accounts are different from domestic accounts, with better policies and provisions, but without foreign ID cards, real names can not be used.
If, like me, you accidentally registered as a foreign account, don’t worry, the background provides a function to cancel the account. Once logged out, you can immediately register a new account:
At present, Huawei application market requires manual review and is relatively strict, but it does not need to provide Computer Software Copyright. Background management interface, relatively clear:
However, it was rejected several times:
It is very considerate that Huawei will provide corresponding problems after review, and provide a video operation demonstration, which is really great! There are corresponding audit requirements are listed, very good for developers! It’s the only store in the country that’s the best for developers!
I wasn’t sure before, was it related to the US embargo? If Huawei wants to develop AppGallery, it should cooperate well with developers. So far, it has done a great job!
For the first time, the privacy link does not open:
As you know, GitHub is often inaccessible in China, so it was eventually changed to display local HTML files.
Second rejection:
Your application has not been approved. Application ID: 103911977 Application Name: Aitomo.com Version: 2.0.0 Reason for Rejection: Description: We find that the privacy policy of your application has not been expressly agreed by the user. Please refer to the audit guide related audit requirements: 7.5 developer.huawei.com/consumer/cn… Test steps: Open the application, and there is no rejection option in the privacy popup;
Suggestion: The privacy policy of the application must be approved by the user in an express way (for example, by providing the active check button or clicking the “Agree” button).
If in doubt, you can directly reply to this notice for consultation
The third time:
Your application has not been approved. Description: We find that the privacy policy of your application has not been expressly agreed by the user. Please refer to the audit guide related audit requirements: 7.5 developer.huawei.com/consumer/cn… Test procedure: No privacy policy can be seen before clicking “Agree” in the popup window. Please refer to screen recording for modification suggestions: The privacy policy of the application should be approved by the user in the form of express consent (such as providing active check button or clicking “Agree” button). If you have any questions, you can directly reply to this notice for consultation
Because the prompt to open the app for the first time does not allow the user to open the entry of the terms:
conclusion
Huawei App Market is experienced so many stores, the most stringent requirements, but also the most humane store. Although it has been reviewed, there is no need for computer Software Copyright.
Download: appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C1039…
In addition, Huawei provides unpraised application testing service, providing 1000 minutes of free cloud debugging:
Supported models also meet the requirements of most Huawei devices:
Free cloud testing is also available:
All in all, Huawei is awesome!
Ali Application Distribution Platform (Wandoujia, PP Assistant)
Ali has no mobile phone platform and no software service platform. What a surprise!
At present, there are a large number of similar applications in the market. If you need to include them, please submit “Computer Software Copyright”.
Submitted several times, has been rejected, the plan also gave up, Ali acquisition PP assistant, pea pod, it seems to do nothing, I think from here can also see a point, not friendly to developers! A flowing water ecology, the upper water do not cherish, how can achieve the flow of water! No amount of tap water can keep the balance
Sogou mobile assistant
Sogou is also a lot of years need not, from sogou inputting method to the voice of information flying inputting method, this is the inputting method THAT I want! Current sogou mobile power power seems not heard of, so, sogou store market should not be too, also did not go to register ~
Hammer App Store
In line with the idea of making a friend, I had an account of Hammer before, so I applied for the developer, only to find that no one had reviewed it:
The last generation of nut R2 is probably the last song, the result did not support old Luo a, hand in a hammer!
Actually, the reason why I want to go to hammer shop is because I love tomatoes. IPomodoro is an imitative Logo, which is very consistent with the style of Hammer system:
So long, RON!
Meizu App Store
Meizu is relatively conventional, and developers can submit application approval after real-name authentication. At present, there is no need for “Computer Software Copyright” at the time of submission, waiting for the approval result:
On a more personal note, you can see a record of the audit:
In the end, but trial! Rubbish ~
- The personal developer account only supports tool applications. If you insist on uploading this application, please change your enterprise developer account to upload it
I am now uploading the tool class application ah! I don’t get it, so I don’t do it. Bye! The road turns black ~
Gionee Software Store
Gionee phone? Ignore this store for now
Android market
Since February 2020, anzhi market will no longer include free software (including new software/removed from shelves), software must be paid to be listed or promoted by CPD and software must meet the approval standards for listing. If you need to pay for cooperation, please contact business QQ: 455561771 (non-partners do not add), thank you. If you have any other questions, please consult customer service: [email protected];
Cool Ann market
At present, this store is the fastest to launch, and provides a display page and a direct link to download APK:
Show download page: Love Tomato – iPomodoro(com.ihtcboy.ipomodoro) – 2.1.1 – Application – Kuan
conclusion
For the need to quickly shelves and provide download links to friends, do not need to build their own H5 official website, and then cool an APP display interface is very simple, recommended use!
Legend Music Store
Not considered, lenovo mobile phone estimates that there is no play ~
Samsung App Developer Platform
Samsung may not be able to do so in China, but Google Store will be the main focus in foreign countries

IPomodoro (Love tomatoes)
The 🍅 Pomodoro technique is a time-management technique developed in the 1980s by Francesco Cirillo. The method uses a timer to separate a typical 25-minute work period from a 5-minute rest period called pomodori, the plural of the Italian word pomodoro.
GitHub:
- iHTCboy/iPomodoro-Flutter
Currently available in stores:
| A store that is already on the shelves | Download address |
|---|---|
| The apple store | Apps.apple.com/cn/app/ipom… |
| Google store | Play.google.com/store/apps/… |

| Millet store | App.xiaomi.com/detail/1341… |

Note: because the apple developer account requires a ￥688 annual fee, the AppStore download fee is 1 yuan. Mind friends can download this project code in macOS system compilation and installation.
Additionally, 10 free iOS promo codes are available:

Note: if the above promo code has been used, students who need promo code can send me a private letter ~
conclusion
Overall, android stores and marketplaces have stabilized among the top handset makers and Internet portals. For users, don’t worry too much about not finding apps, they will probably steal from each other
The biggest problem for developers is that the rules and requirements vary from store to store, which is the biggest headache. For example, App ICONS, some stores need 128×128, some need 256×256, some need 512×512, and some need 119×119, etc., an icon, different stores will have different specifications, and App store screenshots 5 pictures needless to say! Are tears ~
For Apple, it is a store, so the rules and specifications are stable and unchanged, and there is no need to consider the situation of launching multiple stores. In addition, Apple is the earliest App store manual review, so the review standards are the best! For android review, Google Store and Huawei are the most awesome, other stores have many advantages and disadvantages, I hope they can change it!
Individual developers, the weak cry… Best wishes ~
