                Troubleshooting and FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Q: Why is the \u201cCreate app\u201d button disabled?<\/strong>
                <\/strong> A: Ensure you\u2019ve entered an app name, selected a default language, chosen the app type, and set pricing. All required fields must be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Q: Can I change my app name or default language later?<\/strong>
                <\/strong> A: Yes. Go to Store setup > Main store listing<\/strong> to make changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Q: I set my app to Paid but now want it Free \u2014 can I change it?<\/strong>
                <\/strong> A: Before publishing, yes \u2014 go to Monetize > Pricing & distribution<\/strong> and switch to Free. After publishing a paid app, you cannot convert it to free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Q: Why can\u2019t I see my distribution regions yet?<\/strong>
                <\/strong> A: Distribution regions are set under Release > Production > Countries\/regions<\/strong>, not during initial app setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
