1. Does your app fall into the following categories?

If not, congratulations, you have successfully avoided many competitors~ Xiaomi does not accept the following application categories:

2. Is your app new enough?

New or updated apps

•  Hard indicators
• New apps: apps that have not yet been officially launched in any app store or public media
• Updated apps: new versions of apps that have not been officially released in any app store or public media
•  Soft indicators
• The product is well made and the new version has been significantly improved

3. On the correct way to hook up with Xiaomi editors

process:

The developer (you) sends an email for the first release application - Xiaomi editors review the qualifications - Xiaomi editors reply to the email - the developer uploads the first release package to the backend - the first release application will be reviewed first at 10:30 am on the day of the first release - Xiaomi editors arrange the first release application and then recommend it at a specified time

Review time:

1. Application email: We will reply you with the review results within 1-2 working days after receiving the initial application email. Please wait patiently.
2. Submit the first release package in the background: it will be reviewed for you within 1-3 working days after uploading. The first release applications that have not been reviewed by 10:30 am on the day of the first release will be reviewed first.

4. What can you get if you successfully apply?

Xiaomi editors will provide you with one of the following recommended positions based on the review results (want all three? Don’t dream~)

For specific recommended positions, please click to view Xiaomi’s official explanation at the end of the article.

5. What else should you know before applying?

• l Xiaomi does not accept the launch date on non-working days
• l Developers need to send the application email to the designated review email address 4-5 working days in advance . Xiaomi will reply by email within 1-2 working days whether the first release has passed the review. (For example, on July 6, 2015, you can apply for the first release on July 10 and July 13. Since the 11th and 12th are non-working days, the first release application will not be accepted. And it is necessary to ensure that the official package can be transmitted to the backend at 17:00 on the day before the first release date)
• l An application can only apply for a first release once within a month , regardless of success or failure. There must be a gap of at least 10 days between two applications in alternate months.
• l Apps that apply for exclusive first release can be launched on other channels only after 24 hours of being launched on the Xiaomi App Store.
• l If you apply for Xiaomi and other channels to jointly release the same version on the same day, the launch time on the joint channels must be consistent.
• l Xiaomi does not want you to include a splash screen in your first release app, and does not require the logo to be embedded
• l Recommendation may not necessarily begin on the first day of release. The first release is just a point in time, and the recommended time is the time period. The recommended time periods are Monday to Thursday and Friday to Sunday. Cool apps are for a period of time, from Monday to Sunday, and the apps remain unchanged during the recommended period. If the first release date of your application is different from the time of the replacement period, it will be recommended in the next period. For example: If the launch date of the applied premium product is Tuesday, Xiaomi will recommend your app from Friday to Sunday of the same week.

6. How to send an application email?

Designated review address: [email protected]

The email format is as follows:

Email title: Initial release application-"Application name"

Email content:

• Application Name:
• l Xiaomi App Store front page link: such as: http://app.mi.com/detail/1 (if it is a new app, you can fill in none)

• l Update log: Please fill in the update points in the first version that has not been launched yet (for new applications, please fill in a detailed application introduction)
• l First release version apk package: (sent as an attachment for editorial review. If the attachment is larger than 10M or the email is rejected, please provide a network disk link. The first release application apk package can be a beta package and can have bugs, but it must be a valid test package, without functional flashback issues, and contain the functions described in the update log. No first release application can be accepted without a test package)
• l Test account: If the application contains functions that require registration and login, you need to provide a specific test account (please provide a simple account and password. At the same time, the reviewer will not use a personal account or information to register and log in. Please be sure to provide an internal account of the server, otherwise it will be rejected directly)
• l Contact information: QQ, phone

Note: If any of the conditions are not met, the application will not be counted and will be rejected directly.

7. How to upload the first release package after the application is approved?
8. Time: The specific upload time will be notified to you in the reply email after the initial application is approved.
9. Channel: There is no dedicated channel for the first release at the moment. Please follow the normal application upload and update steps for the first release application.

If the application is not uploaded within the specified time, the first release position will not be provided.

8. First release time

There are 2 options:

1. Scheduled launch is mainly set for joint first-launch applications that have synchronized launch time requirements, and can only be set to a time point 24 hours later.
2. For other first-launch applications, if there is no special need, in order to avoid delaying the launch time, just select "Go online immediately after review is passed".

9. How to change the release date or cancel the release
10. Change of release date: Due to the change of release date, we need to reschedule the application. You need to inform the relevant staff at least one working day in advance and resend the release application email according to the release process. The time can be modified, but there is no guarantee that you will still be able to get the first recommendation position when you apply next time.
11. Cancel the first release: Yes. If you need to cancel the initial release of the relevant application, please reply and explain in the "Notification Email of Approval of Initial Release Application" and the staff will reply to you in a timely manner.

10. There are always some problems outside the situation...

You can send an email to the Xiaomi App Store's mailbox [email protected] about the problem you encounter. Xiaomi promises to reply to you within 1 to 2 working days, or you can contact the relevant staff:
