Solution

Flutter

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class PlayStoreSubmissionScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const PlayStoreSubmissionScreen({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final steps = [
      '1. Prepare app release build',
      '2. Create Play Store listing',
      '3. Upload APK or AAB',
      '4. Set pricing & distribution',
      '5. Submit for review',
    ];

    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Play Store Submission'),
      ),
      body: Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16),
        child: Column(
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
          children: [
            for (var step in steps) ...[
              Text(step, style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 18)),
              const SizedBox(height: 12),
            ],
            const Spacer(),
            Center(
              child: ElevatedButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
                    const SnackBar(
                      content: Text('Submission process started!'),
                      duration: Duration(seconds: 2),
                    ),
                  );
                },
                child: const Text('Start Submission'),
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

We created a simple screen with a list of the 5 main steps to submit an app to the Play Store. Each step is shown as a numbered text with spacing for clarity. The button at the bottom triggers a SnackBar message to confirm the start of the submission process. This keeps the UI clean and user-friendly.

Tapping 'Start Submission' shows a small message at the bottom: 'Submission process started!'

The message disappears automatically after 2 seconds.

Stretch Goal

Add a dark mode toggle switch in the app bar to switch between light and dark themes.

💡 Hint

Use a StatefulWidget and ThemeMode to toggle themes. Add a Switch widget in the AppBar actions.
