🚀 How I Successfully Submitted My App to Google Play Review (Step-by-Step Process)

I just submitted my app update Hierarchy Star Reports v1.4 to Google Play, and it is now officially in review on Google Play Console.

Here’s the exact step-by-step process I followed (my deployment methodology / “mergogoly” approach):

🧩 Step 1: Fixed app identity issues

  • Ensured app name matches everywhere (Play Console + strings.xml)
  • Verified no old names like “DALogos” remained in the project

🎨 Step 2: Fixed app icon mismatch

  • Confirmed launcher icon in mipmap/ matches Play Store icon
  • Checked both ic_launcher and ic_launcher_round
  • Ensured installed app icon matches store listing

🔢 Step 3: Updated versioning

  • Increased versionCode (4 → 5)
  • Updated versionName (1.3 → 1.4)
  • Prevented duplicate build upload errors

🔐 Step 4: Proper signing configuration

  • Used correct release keystore (upload-key.jks)
  • Built a signed release AAB

📦 Step 5: Built clean AAB

  • Cleaned project
  • Rebuilt project
  • Generated fresh Android App Bundle (.aab)

🧪 Step 6: Uploaded and configured release

  • Uploaded AAB to Play Console Production track
  • Added release notes: Bug fixes and performance improvements
  • Set rollout configuration

🚀 Step 7: Submitted for review

  • Clicked “Send changes for review / Start full rollout”
  • Confirmed submission successfully

⏳ Current status

✔ “Your changes are now in review. We may find additional issues when reviewing your app.”

🎯 Final outcome

Now waiting for Google Play review approval before the app goes live.

💡 This structured workflow helped ensure all policy, versioning, and identity issues were resolved before submission.

More updates coming soon! 🚀

NR-V2X Mode 2 in ns-3 In 5G NR-V2X, vehicles communicate directly using sidelink. Two modes exist: Mode 1: gNB schedules sidelink resources. Mode 2: UEs autonomously select sidelink resources (no gNB needed). Mode 2 is especially important for vehicular networks (IoV), where cars must exchange safety messages without relying on infrastructure. In ns-3, the NrHelper class is used to: Create UE devices with sidelink PHY/MAC layers. Attach them to Bandwidth Parts (BWPs) and spectrum channels. Configure sidelink attributes such as: SidelinkMode = 2 (autonomous) SidelinkPeriod (resource pool periodicity) SidelinkSubchannelSize (RB grouping)

From DSRC to 5G NR-V2X: The Road Ahead for Connected Vehicles

Modern vehicles are no longer just machines on wheels. Through Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication , they are becoming active participants in intelligent transport systems, enabling safer driving, smoother traffic, and progress toward automation. DSRC: The First Step The earliest V2X technology was Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) , based on IEEE 802.11p. Operating in the 5.9 GHz band , it allowed onboard units (OBUs) in vehicles to exchange safety and infotainment data with roadside units (RSUs) . While DSRC was effective for short-range messaging, it faced limits in coverage, data rate, and quality of service (QoS) . These challenges motivated researchers to explore new solutions. D2D and the Cellular Shift A key breakthrough came with Device-to-Device (D2D) communication , where vehicles exchange information directly without always relying on infrastructure. This reduces latency, eases network congestion, and helps maintain reliability in crow...
