App name | There is a theoretical maximum of 30 characters. |
App Icon | This should be 1024 x 1024px in size, but is dynamically resized to fit phone screens and can go down to smaller sizes such as 64x64px. It’s worth creating an icon with a primary image on a simple background such as the following: Further details here |

Further Notes:
The terms of use need to be linked in the app description.
The app description needs to have explicit guidance on what is free vs paid, and pricing.
We need to add the app in a new developer account, otherwise it will be classed as spam
