Playstore app publish console has introduced new page Manage releases instead of APK page, here we all manage app's apk for different environment like alpha,beta and producation.
In the Manage Production i have rolled out an new update for existing app after publishing the app i could see two option for the release "Halt rollout", "Update rollout" and next this there is symbol which shows 5%, on clicking the update rollout everytime the percentage symbol get incremented by 5%.
I may like to know what does the percentage symbol indicates?
What Is A Percentage Rollout? Percentage rollouts are when you can release new features gradually. It allows you to ensure a good user experience before releasing the feature to a wider audience. Feature flags can be used to decide who gets access to a new feature.
Staged rollouts let you limit your app's release to a subset of users (choosing between 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, or 50%) to test the new APK. You can gradually ramp up the percentage of users until the release is available to all of your users.
You can release an app update to production and test tracks using a staged rollout. With a staged rollout, your update reaches only a percentage of your users, which you can increase over time. Staged rollouts can only be used for app updates, not when publishing an app for the first time.
This process typically takes 1-3 days to complete. Following an initial rollout, you can review your app's status and understand your app's availability on Google Play.
In order to make the app available for all our users, then rollout percentage should reach 100.
For this we need to click the update rollout which initially increments to 5 percent then to 10 and then 25 so finally when all increments done it will reach 100, by this time only it will available to all users else it will be available to only few percentage of users,
