# FAQ

### Which stores are supported?

The Apple App Store (via TestFlight) and the Google Play Store. See [Destinations](destinations/index.md).

### Do I need to upload the first version manually?

For **Google Play**, yes — Google requires the very first version of an app to be uploaded manually to the Play Console. Subsequent builds can be submitted automatically. For **Apple**, no manual first upload is required.

### How do I authenticate with the Apple App Store?

With an App Store Connect **API key** (recommended) or your **Apple ID** with an app-specific password. See the [Apple App Store destination](destinations/apple-app-store.md).

### Which Google Play tracks are supported?

Internal, Alpha, Beta, and Production. Set the track on the [Google Play destination](destinations/google-play-store.md).

### Can I submit automatically on every release?

Yes — attach a destination to an [automation](../automations/index.md). See [Submit automatically after a build](submit-automatically.md).

### Why did my submission fail?

The fastest way to find out is [Ask AI](../assist/ask-ai.md) on the failed deployment. See also [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md).
