Just wrapped up submitting my app to production on Google Play and hit a few things nobody warns you about — identity verification randomly flagging in-app purchases, the 12-tester closed testing requirement, screenshot specs, category picking (Lifestyle vs Entertainment matters more than you'd think for discovery).
None of it was hard once I knew where to look, but I burned real hours on stuff that should've taken minutes. If anyone's stuck in that testing-to-production gap or drowning in Play Console's navigation, happy to help — I do this for a reasonable flat rate now since I've got the process down. DM me if useful, otherwise hope this saves someone else the headache.
