# Follow your app through review

Open Your app in the admin to see where your app is in each store. Each store has its own list of steps, with what's done, what's happening now and anything that needs you.

## The steps for each store

| Step | What happens |
| --- | --- |
| Apple account invited, or Google Play account invited | You invite apps@meetscarlet.com as an Admin in your Apple Developer account, or apps@meetscarlet.com and then your own service account in Google Play. |
| Store key received | You add your key in setup. We store it safely and check it against the store. |
| App identifiers created (App Store) or App listing created (Google Play) | We create your app's ID in App Store Connect, or the app and its package name in Play Console. |
| App built | We build your branded app, test it on a phone and upload it. |
| Submitted for review | We send it to the store once the listing and screenshots are approved. |
| In review (App Store), or Review (Google Play) | Apple reviews your app. This usually takes 1 to 2 days. Google doesn't show its review queue, so this step isn't tracked for Google Play. |
| Live in App Store, or Live in Google Play | Your clients can install it as soon as it's live. |

Each step shows Done, Now, Not started or Needs attention, with a date where there is one.

> Good to know: Google doesn't show us its review queue, so we can tell you when a Google Play release is live, but not while it's in review. That step shows Not tracked .

## Builds

Builds go out on Tuesdays and Thursdays. While one is waiting, the App built step says it's queued for the next build. If a build hits a temporary problem, we try again automatically, and the step says so.

Owners and managers have these buttons in each store's card, just above its steps. Each appears only at the stage where it makes sense:

- Request a new build: ask for a fresh build, for example after a store sent one back. It shows when no build is in progress, and works only once your store key is connected. You can ask once per store per hour.
- Cancel this build: stop a build that's queued, building or ready to send. That version is never sent, and you can request a new one afterwards.
- Did … send it back? Add their message: if Apple or Google sends a build back, choose Paste the store's email and paste their message, so it shows on the tracker for your team. Once it's there, the same place offers Edit review notes.You don't send builds to the stores yourself: the Scarlet team does, and the tracker updates on its own.

## When you change your app

Most changes in Your app reach your members without an app update: in about a minute on the web, and in the store apps the next time members open them. A few, like a new app icon, only go out with the next app update. Each setting is marked Live in a minute or Ships with the next store build, and the tracker says what is waiting. Store changes take a day or two of store review.

## If a store sends a build back

Apple or Google sometimes ask for changes before they approve an app. When Apple sends your app back, the In review step shows Needs attention and the tracker says what kind of problem it was, with any review notes added. Apple puts the details in App Store Connect's Resolution Center. The tracker also says what happens next: for most problems we tell you what to change, and for a listing problem we draft the fix for you to approve.

The build history under the tracker lists each version and any review notes.
