Creating a draft release

This method allows creating a draft app version with basic information.

Key Points to Note:

• You can only create one draft per app. Attempting to create multiple drafts will result in an error;

• drafts submitted via the API are not displayed in the web version of the RuStore Console. They will become available after the APK is submitted for review and when the release status changes;

• creation of a draft version is only possible when there is an active app version available.

• if any of the draft fields are left incomplete or contain missing data, the system will retrieve the corresponding information from the active app version to fill in the gaps;

• draft must align with the app type, whether it is free or paid. In the event that you submit a paid version as a draft for a free app, the system will consider the draft as free, adhering to the app type specified.

• for each app version type (appType) there are corresponding version categories. Attempting to download the application will result in an error if the category does not matchю

• partial app publication is possible only with automatic (INSTANTLY) or manual (MANUAL) publication type (parameter - publishType).
