General Information​

The general information area allows you to see and update the default language and configure your auto review setting for your app on Google Play Console.

Default Language​

The default language for an app on Google Play Console is the primary language in which the app’s store listing (title, description, and other metadata) is displayed when a user visits the app’s page. If a user’s device language is not supported by the app’s store listing, they will see the information in the default language.

Auto Send for Review​

Auto Send for Review is where you select whether your changes should automatically go for review on the Google Play Console. Please note that this setting is optional.

Understanding the changesNotSentForReview Parameter in Google Play Android Publisher API

When making release requests via the Google Play Android Publisher API, the changesNotSentForReview parameter determines whether your changes are immediately sent for review or not. However, Google enforces certain constraints, requiring this parameter to be either true or false depending on the current status of the app and other factors.

To handle this behavior efficiently, we provide four different options for managing releases:

  1. Send for Review Automatically but Rescue Errors:
  • The system will attempt to send changes for review.
  • If an error occurs due to changesNotSentForReview being set incorrectly, the API call will be retried with the opposite value.
  1. Don't Send for Review Automatically but Rescue Errors:
  • The system will attempt to keep changes in a draft state without sending them for review.
  • If an error occurs due to changesNotSentForReview being set incorrectly, the API call will be retried with the opposite value.
  1. Always Send for Review Automatically:
  • The system will always attempt to send changes for review.
  • If an error occurs, the process will fail without retrying.
  1. Never Send for Review Automatically:
  • The system will always attempt to keep changes in a draft state.
  • If an error occurs, the process will fail without retrying.

By selecting the appropriate option, you can ensure that your release process aligns with Google's requirements while maintaining flexibility in handling potential API constraints.
