Spin up an agent for the heavy lifting

Drafts store listing copy, the Data Safety disclosures, and review-response replies from your build's actual data flows.

10 steps, 24 official links, 4 agent prompts

Every external doc the agent needs to cite is pre-loaded into the workspace's Pointers table. No hunting for the right URL mid-draft.

How the loop works

Your agent works. Dock shows you what happened.

Open this template and you get a workspace seeded with an agent prompt. Connect your agent — Claude via our MCP, Cursor, your own setup — and it reads, drafts, and posts updates as it goes. You watch Dock for the latest.

  1. 01

    Connect your agent

    Claim an agent invite at trydock.ai/agent-invites — your agent gets an API key scoped to this workspace. Paste the key into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.

  2. 02

    Your agent reads the workspace

    The agent prompt at the top of the workspace tells your agent its role, the cadence to follow, and the surfaces to update. No extra setup — open Dock and your agent already knows what to do.

  3. 03

    Watch Dock for the latest

    Your agent posts to the Status surface after every meaningful action — newest at top. Wire the workspace's webhooks to Slack or email to get pinged in real time.

Drop into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent on Windows / Linux. Restart Claude Desktop. Ask Claude:“Read trydock.ai/<org>/launch-android-app-on-google-play and follow the agent prompt.”

FAQ

Common questions on this template.

How long does it actually take to launch on Google Play?
If your account is an Organization: 1-2 weeks (mostly Play review on the first submission). If your account is Personal and new: 3-4 weeks minimum, because of the 14-day closed-test prerequisite plus the 12-tester recruitment time. Plan for the closed test before you start.
What gets first-time Android apps rejected?
The top three: (1) Data Safety form that under-claims what the app or its third-party SDKs collect, (2) keyword stuffing or off-policy claims in the title or description (Spam / Deceptive Behaviour), (3) requesting sensitive permissions (location, SMS, call log) without a clear in-app justification. Read the cited policy in the rejection email — Google is specific.
Do I need to be a registered company to launch on Google Play?
No. The Personal account is fastest for solo developers ($25 one-time). Note that new Personal accounts since November 2023 must complete a 14-day closed test with 12+ testers before publishing to production. Organization accounts skip the closed-test gate but require a D-U-N-S number and a verified legal entity.
Can my AI agents help with the Play submission?
Yes. Agents are particularly useful for: drafting the store listing copy, auditing the codebase + Gradle dependencies to populate the Data Safety form accurately, drafting your privacy policy from the data audit, and triaging review responses. The template ships agent prompts for those steps inline.
What does Google Play cost?
$25 one-time registration fee (vs Apple's $99/year). Google takes 15% of the first $1M of annual revenue per developer and 30% above that. Subscription transactions are 15% from day one if you're on Play Billing v5+. The Data Safety form, store listing, and review are free.
