Documented steps
POST .../applications/{packageName}/edits (edits.insert) and capture editId.
GET .../edits/{editId}/listings/{language} (edits.listings.get) to read the current Listing for that BCP-47 language, e.g. en-US or de-AT.
Build a Listing body: {"language":"en-US","title":"...","shortDescription":"...","fullDescription":"..."}. The optional video field takes a promotional YouTube URL.
PUT .../edits/{editId}/listings/{language} (edits.listings.update) to replace the localized listing, or use edits.listings.patch to change a subset of fields.
Repeat per language you support. Listings are stored per language, not merged.
For release notes, GET .../edits/{editId}/tracks/{track} (edits.tracks.get) to fetch the Track and its releases array.
Modify the target release's releaseNotes array, adding a LocalizedText {"language":"en-US","text":"What's new"} per locale.
PUT .../edits/{editId}/tracks/{track} (or edits.tracks.patch for a partial change) to persist the release notes.
POST .../edits/{editId}:commit and read the response for validation errors before assuming the listing went through.
Known gotchas
Play Console documents these listing limits: app title 30 characters, short description 80 characters, full description 4000 characters. The API reference itself does not restate them, so over-length text typically surfaces as a validation error at commit rather than at update.
language must be a valid BCP-47 tag your app supports. Unrecognized language codes are ignored rather than erroring.
No character limit for releaseNotes text is documented in the tracks reference; do not assert one.
Release notes live on the Release inside a Track, not on the Listing. Updating a listing does not change what users see as 'What's new'.
tracks.update is a full PUT replace; fetch the track first or use patch.
Listing edits require an open uncommitted edit, and any concurrent Play Console UI change discards it.
