App Review Process

Every app submitted to the myPOS AppMarket—whether a new app or an update—is reviewed to ensure it meets our quality, compliance, and security standards.

App Status: Pending

After successful submission, your app will be set to Pending status.

• In this state, you can still edit the app's metadata (description, images, countries, etc.).
• Once the review begins, no changes are allowed until a new version is submitted.

First-Time APK Submissions

When submitting your app for the first time, the following app-level metadata is validated:

Required App Information & Assets:

• App Name
• App Description
• App Screenshots
• Target Countries
• Requested Permissions (only essential implicit permissions should be included)
• Website (if applicable)
• Privacy Policy URL

Subsequent APK Submissions

For all app updates, the following elements are checked:

• Changes to app information and assets
• Changelog of modifications since the previous version

Two-Layer Review Process

App review consists of two phases:

1. Automated Verification

• Validates APK structure, file size, and manifest configuration
• Ensures compliance with APK build guidelines

2. Manual Review

Once automated checks pass, a myPOS AppMarket administrator performs a hands-on review:

Manual Review Covers:

• Security Check – ensures no malicious code
• Stability Test – detects app crashes or ANRs
• Performance Review – checks resource usage and responsiveness
• Functionality Test – validates advertised features
• User Experience – assesses layout, usability, and design
• Interoperability Test – confirms device compatibility
• Integration Test – ensures proper usage of myPOS terminal functions

If the app passes, it is:

1. Signed using a PCI Certification Key by a myPOS reviewer
2. Re-tested in a production environment

Review Timeline

You will receive an initial response within 1–3 business days after submission.
