App Launch Plan

1. Determine a plan for launch of the application that outlines all necessary components to support your app. Once you have completed the code for your app, there are a few more steps required to bring your app to the market. In this project you will not actually have to launch your app in the app store but you will need to outline a comprehensive plan for launch that will prepare you to bring your app to market. Later in this course you will have the opportunity to officially launch your app, if you choose, since it will be an excellent accomplishment to share as you progress along your professional pathway. For now, address the following questions as you write the plan:
   • What will be included in your app's description and what kind of icon will best represent your app once it is made available in the app store?
   • Which version(s) of Android will your app successfully run on? Have you included the most current version? Note that with each version of Android, new components are introduced that add considerations and challenges in the development.
   • What permissions will your app ask for? Be sure these are only permissions that are necessary for your app to run. For example, does your manifest ask for permission to record phone audio when your app does not use it?
   • What is your plan for monetization of the app? Consider whether your app will include ads, require a one-time payment, both, or neither.
