Thanks to my great software testing network, I stumbled up on an very interesting mobile article about mobile app submissions. The article has been written by Simon Moser in german.
Simon collected all important and required information that are necessary to submit a mobile app to the stores from Apple, Google and Windows. If you are not able to read german, here are the important information from the article that can be used as a mobile submission cheat sheet for your app.
