Documented steps

  1. POST .../applications/{packageName}/edits (edits.insert) and capture editId.
  2. GET .../edits/{editId}/listings/{language}/{imageType} (edits.images.list) to see currently attached images and their ids for that AppImageType.
  3. Upload a new asset to the media-upload path: POST https://androidpublisher.googleapis.com/upload/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/edits/{editId}/listings/{language}/{imageType} with the raw image bytes as the body.
  4. Choose imageType from AppImageType: phoneScreenshots, sevenInchScreenshots, tenInchScreenshots, tvScreenshots, wearScreenshots, icon, featureGraphic, tvBanner.
  5. Example: curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H 'Content-Type: image/png' --data-binary @screenshot1.png "https://androidpublisher.googleapis.com/upload/androidpublisher/v3/applications/$PKG/edits/$EDIT_ID/listings/en-US/phoneScreenshots"
  6. Read ImagesUploadResponse.image (id, url, sha1, sha256) to confirm the upload and capture the new image id.
  7. To replace a whole set, DELETE .../edits/{editId}/listings/{language}/{imageType} (edits.images.deleteall), then re-upload the new set in the display order you want.
  8. To remove one image, DELETE .../edits/{editId}/listings/{language}/{imageType}/{imageId} (edits.images.delete) using an id from list or upload.
  9. Repeat per language, since graphics are attached per language and per imageType.
  10. POST .../edits/{editId}:commit. Asset count and format violations surface as validation errors at commit.
