Reduce deployment time with Android scheduled publishing

I’m working as an Android developer in the company. With Android scheduled-publishing, you can save time deploying apps to your Play Store by using Android scheduled publishing.

Our original deployment process

1. After the development, post the APK file on Slack.
2. Test application.
3. If there is no problem, upload it to the Play store and deploy it. (About 2 to 3 hours)

Deployment process using schedule publishing

1. After development, upload the APK file to Slack and upload it to the Play store at the same time.
2. Test application.
3. If there is no problem, press the Publish to Play store button and deploy it to the user immediately.

The deployment takes the same four hours, but the test and deployment can proceed at the same time, which reduces the time it takes to deploy. If there is a problem during the test, you can upload the new version without publishing the app, so there is no problem.
