I know I should give you a guide, but I’m going to give you the steps that helped me and that is a mixture of things that I found between the forum and trial and error.
STEPS PRIOR TO UPLOADING:
- Check that the sources are not less than 12
NOTE: At this point it is important to check with a 40mm watch and not with the larger Watch 4s since there are fonts that in size 14 look like 10 on a 40 watch, or rather the text is not appreciated. It is advisable to increase 2 or 3 sizes of what you consider adequate or that results in the GWD - Check that the heart rate update configuration is as low as possible in the project (WatchFaceStudio - Project - Options - Health - Measure pulse - Every - 10 minutes) and that it uses the [HR] label
NOTE: This step is optional, only if this feature is on the face
IMAGE PREPARATION:
MOBILE SECTION: -
Icon: It must be in 512x512 pixels in PNG format “with a colored background”, either white or black or another - It is important to compress the image and not exceed the weight limit
NOTE: must not be transparent -
Function chart: In PNG format with a measure of 1024x500 contemplating the logo and capture of the face (mounted or raw), within the invisible margins that google places as limiting other - It is important to compress the image and not exceed the weight limit
NOTE: it must not be transparent and “must be the first face or color that is seen when downloading the application” -
Details, Example, Functions, Colors and AOD: In PNG format with a size of 1080 x 1920 without transparencies and should focus on the user experience.
NOTE: What you comment on the image of how your face works, will be tested that way by the review team, so if you comment and say that you have to follow a step for a certain function, it must work as you indicated, otherwise you will be rejected face.
• Image DETAIL: It can be an image with a text that indicates most of the things that your watch brings, such as number of colors, interactive functions, health indicators and others
• Image EXAMPLE: Simply an image of a clock with your face mounted
• Image FUNCTIONS: An image of the face with the interaction points where it is indicated what function each one has and the steps (if there are steps to follow for any function)
• Image COLORS: An image edited or not with ALL or MOST of the colors or designs obtained (if this function is included), the user when customizing the watch
• AOD Image: An image (optional) of a watch with the AOD of your face -
Screenshot: These are some of the images you get from WatchFaceStudio but “they must be JPG with a WHITE background”
WEAR OS SECTION: -
Screenshot: These are some of the images you get from WatchFaceStudio but “they must be JPG with a WHITE background” in the same way as the previous point
NOTE: It is important that in the WEAR OS section, you only upload the screenshots as mentioned above (JPEG 450x450 with WHITE background), otherwise your face will be rejected
STEPS TO UPLOAD TO THE GOOGLE CONSOLE:
You only have to fill in the PRODUCTION steps, the others are for testing and if you start the testing procedures by mistake, you must delete or close the test so that the production can be seen.
In other words, if you did production and testing simultaneously and your face was approved but you have a test launched, “your face will not be seen by other users until the test is closed”
- Steps to follow: I recommend following the steps in this video GOOGLE PLAY STORE 📲 Cómo PUBLICAR tu primera APP Android 2021 - YouTube (it is in Spanish but shows the steps exclusively necessary) and adding those that correspond to WEAR in the advanced section
- Add Wear OS: It is enabled in LAUNCH - CONFIGURATION - ADVANCED SETTINGS and within this you have to activate WEAR OS and upload the .app and then go to publish (you should see the text “under review” in the information)
- Exclude the OPPO: As soon as you finish with WEAR, it is important that you immediately exclude the OPPO watch, go in the side menu to LAUNCH - SCOPE AND DEVICES - DEVICE CATALOG and in the list, go to the bottom and where it says " show row ”place 500 and you will see the OPPO (it is square), click on the arrow to enter another screen and in each version (Beluga, Orca), click on“ show details ”and then on the EXCLUDE button
-
Add Privacy Policies: This step may be asked before or after but to carry out the privacy policies it is advisable to follow the simple steps in this video Como crear las políticas de privacidad en el Play Store - YouTube (It is in Spanish but it is very clear and precise, giving a permanent method to your policies)
Performed these steps you should not have problems.
Some considerations:
Whenever possible avoid the use of pulse measurement, also limit the use of interactive functions to: - Alarm
- Calendar
- Battery Status
- Message
- Music
- Telephone
- Setting
- Custom ID and in the latter it is preferable to use Samsung healt since if you use another it should be indicated that it is necessary to download an indicated application
I hope some of this is helpful for you or another user
