Get Approval From Google Play
The Get Approval From Google Play step ensures that your app release is approved by checking its status on the Google Play Console. This allows you to monitor the progress of your submission and take any necessary actions to address any issues or concerns that may arise during the review process.
Prerequisites
The Publish flow steps that need to be executed before running the Get Approval via Email step, along with their respective reasons, are listed in the table below:
| Prerequisite Workflow Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Publish to Google Play | The app must be published to Google Play before checking the status of the app version in the Google Play Console. |
If you have previously submitted this app version to the Google Play Console, you do not need to add the Publish to Google Play step.
You also need to have a Google Service Account and its key as a JSON file. Please refer to the following document for more information about service accounts:
