I am in charge of launching my app on Google Play. My question is: Do I need to upload screenshots for both the 7-inch and the 10-inch tablets in order for the app to show up on the Play store on the tablet? For example, if I only have screenshots for the 7-inch tablet, will the app still appear in the Play store on a 10-inch tablet? Conversely, if I only have the screenshots for the 7-inch tablet and not the 10-inch tablet, will the device be available for either?
I will eventually support both sizes, but want to upload an APK to test out the 7-inch to make sure my app will be available for tablets at all.
The documentation is not very clear.
Press the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time. If that doesn't work, press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Then tap Screenshot.
The Google Play Store requires a minimum of 2 screenshots per app listing. The maximum is 8 screenshots per supported device type: phone, tablet (7-inch & 10-inch), Android TV, and Wear OS. If you support each of these 5 device types, you can submit a maximum of 40 screenshots.
Screenshots are typically saved to the “Screenshots” folder on your device. For example, to find your images in the Google Photos app, navigate to the “Library” tab. Under the “Photos on Device” section, you'll see the “Screenshots” folder.
For apps, you must provide at least four screenshots with minimum 1080px resolution. These should be 16:9 for landscape (minimum 1920x1080px) screenshots and 9:16 for portrait screenshots (minimum 1080x1920px).
Also, you can always fire up an emulator with your desired divice type and capture screenshots. You don't need to own the physical device to take screenshots. That would not be fun. Hope this helps.
