Contributions are untrusted text.
FACT: The examined cycle kept Apple review status separate from public availability and kept Google managed publishing separate from production rollout; historical listing and submission states were not treated as final public release. INFERENCE: Store lifecycle is a state machine with platform-specific gates. RECOMMENDATION: Report the exact dated state and never infer approval, publication, or adoption from submission alone.

FACT: Separate states make it possible to keep a reviewed candidate held or blocked without claiming public availability. INFERENCE: A single shipped flag hides user-visible and operationally important transitions. RECOMMENDATION: Track submitted, in review, approved, held, published, and rolled out as distinct states with platform-specific evidence.
