New app submission experience in the Partner Dashboard
We updated the app submission experience to help apps get reviewed and published faster. Three changes are live now in the Partner Dashboard:
End-to-end review management in Partner Dashboard Review feedback for app submissions now lives in the Partner Dashboard under App > Distribution. Each requirement now has its own status, reviewer comments, and a way to ask questions directly. You can see exactly what's outstanding and resubmit when everything is resolved.
- Requirement-level tracking: Each requirement that needs attention has its own status tracker. You'll see what failed with associated feedback from the reviewer.
- Structured fix workflow: Address each requirement individually and mark it resolved before resubmitting.
- Blocked resubmission: You can't resubmit until all identified issues are resolved.
AI self-review tool Before you submit your app, you can now run an AI-powered self-review that checks your app against App Store requirements. Run this before you submit, it takes two minutes and catches the obvious stuff that would bounce you back weeks later. This is now available in the Shopify AI toolkit.
Automated pre-submission checks We've expanded automated pre-submission checks so you'll know instantly if something needs fixing before a reviewer picks up your app:
What to do if you have an app in review If your app is currently in the ‘Reviewed’ status with outstanding issues, your review continues through the existing email-based process. The new dashboard flow does not apply to this submission.
If your app is currently in the ‘Submitted’ status and waiting for review, no action is needed. When a reviewer evaluates your app, feedback will appear in the new dashboard experience.
