Wie schaffe ich es, dass meine App im Google Play Store veröffentlicht wird und die Spitze der Download-Charts erreicht? Weil ihr von uns wissen wolltet, wie der Veröffentlichungsprozess einer App aussieht, haben wir uns für Folge 56 Anselm eingeladen. Er ist einer der Entwickler hinter Word Blitz und verrät uns, was einen erfolgreichen Store-Auftritt für Android ausmacht! Um zu erreichen, dass eine App aus dem Google Play Store heruntergeladen wird, braucht es einen guten ersten Eindruck, der maßgeblich durch den Store-Auftritt beeinflusst wird. Anselm spricht mit uns in dieser Folge über den gesamten Weg einer App vom Release-Build über den Upload bis hin zur Analyse der Crash- und Nutzerstatistiken. Er erzählt uns, welche Metadaten und Assets benötigt werden, was die Signatur durch Google bedeutet und was nach dem Release passiert. Denn auch nach der Veröffentlichung bietet der Google Play Store Tools an, um das Optimierungspotenzial einer App voll auszuschöpfen. Anselm erklärt die Vorteile von Updates in Staged Rollouts sowie Track-, Alpha- und Beta-Tests und erläutert, welche Statistiken einer Analyse wert sind. Auch rechtliche Themen wie die Einhaltung der Datenschutzrichtlinien kommen in dieser Folge nicht zu kurz. Dies ist der erste von zwei Teilen über die Veröffentlichung einer App. Bleibt dran und verpasst nicht den Zweiten, in dem wir über das Veröffentlichen im App Store von Apple sprechen!

Conoce las Instant Apps Desde hace algún tiempo, hemos venido hablando un poco acerca de las Instant Apps. Pero posiblemente muchos desconozcan de qué estamos hablando en sí. Para que sea de tu conocimiento, una Instant Apps es una aplicación que podría ser incluso cualquiera de las que tengamos instalada pero con algunos detalles. Esto no quiere decir que cuente con características nuevas, pero sí con una peculiaridad. Esta no requiere ser instalada en el dispositivo, sólo necesitas abrirla para que se ejecute tal como si se tratara de una página web. Desde algunos meses, Google ha venido trabajando mucho en esta nueva función y al parecer ya se encuentra lista para llegar al público global. http://arrobageek.com/lo-debemos-saber-instant-apps-ahora-google-play/

At I/O '16 Google announced the super cool new feature "Instant Apps". It's only at this IO, have we started to see real world examples and third parties pull off this feature. In this episode, we talk to GDE Zarah Dominguez who's company "Domain" was one of the partners for this program. What is the Instant Apps feature? What are some usecases where this comes in handy? How does it actually work internally? What does it take for a developer to implement this feature in their own app? Listen on to find out! Shownotes: http://fragmentedpodcast.com/episodes/90/

Google Instant Apps are the abbreviated applications would be streamlined enough to start working immediately after users open them with a URL tap, temporarily loading the full software's functionality without going through the rigmarole of a traditional Play Store installation. After half a year, the Android team has opened up a select few Instant Apps to live testing. Cindy Krum, Emily Grossman and Ashley Berman Hale from MobileMoxie fill us in.
