WeChat Mini Program Submission Review Process

After a developer has developed a WeChat applet, how does it submit it to WeChat for review? I just have free time today, so I sorted out the submission process of the mini program for your reference. If you want to publish a mini program, you need to apply for a real mini program account and get the appId before you can preview it on your mobile phone and submit it for review. The following is the detailed process.

Step one: How to register a mini program account and obtain an APPID?
We won’t introduce it in detail here. Friends who don’t know can refer to the article on this site: How to obtain the APPID of the WeChat applet. If you are not an individual user and you are a business user, you need to go to the homepage of the official website of the WeChat public platform (https:/ /mp.weixin.qq.com/) Click the "Register Now" button in the upper right corner to register a WeChat mini program account. Note: Be sure to select "Mini Program" when registering. If you don't understand the differences between different types of accounts, you can click "View Type Differences" to view the differences and advantages of different types of accounts.
This article will not introduce these in detail. It is assumed that the developer (merchant) has applied for a mini program account, obtained the appId, and has completed the development and is ready to launch the application.

Second step, preview and debugging
1) After developers (merchants) develop a small program, they need to preview it on their mobile phones before publishing it, because errors may occur due to various reasons. We In order to see if there are any problems, or to see what the real experience is like. This step is essential! As shown in the figure below, select "Project" and then click "Preview".

If there is no problem with the appId of the developer (merchant), the default option here will automatically package and compress the upload code (generally choose the default option), after the packaging and compression is completed The code is very small. The demo in our example is only about 20k in size after packaging and compression. After uploading, a QR code will pop up. As shown in the picture below:

This is similar to the small program QR codes we have seen from other merchants, except that this temporary preview QR code can only be used by developers Scan and use your own two-digit code within the specified time (half an hour)! Scan the QR code to log in for the first time. Since some resource files need to be loaded, the following interface will appear:

After the loading is completed, we can see Real homepage content: (We all know that the effect of the mini program looks no different from html5)

While previewing, we can also do some debugging. Click the menu button that pops up "..." in the upper right corner, and we can choose to turn on debugging, as shown in the figure below:

After clicking vConsole , we can enter the console page. On the console page, users can see that there are two main tabs, one LOG: the ordinary log generated by the recording program, including Info, Warn, Error, etc.;

The other One is System system information, which mainly checks some information related to the system and network. As shown in the figure below:

The third step is to upload and publish the applet

If there are no problems in previewing and debugging, then you can choose to upload it to the WeChat backend , only administrators and developers can operate here. You can see that the size of the uploaded compiled package is actually very small, only 24k. This is mainly because there are no local images. If there are images, it will be larger.

After the mini program code is successfully uploaded, we still need to do some basic work. We follow the official WeChat mini program publishing flow chart as follows:

After uploading, the next step is to submit for review. We need to do several operations:

(1) Supplement the basic information of the mini program, such as name, icon, description, etc.

(2) If the publisher is not an administrator, you must Add developers here to upload and publish code

(3) Configure the server domain name. If your mini program uses network requests, you must first add the domain name in "Settings" - "Development Settings".

(4) Submit for review

The basic information of the mini program, such as name, icon, etc., is the global information of this account. The logo icon can be modified five times within a month. Once the name is set, it cannot be modified, and it must not be the same as the existing subscription account and service account on the public platform.

If the developer himself is an administrator, step (2) above can be ignored, because the administrator "automatically has all the permissions of the developer and does not need to be bound repeatedly."

An email account can only apply for one mini program. What if you want to develop multiple mini programs? WeChat official statement: Except for individual industrial and commercial households that can certify 5 mini programs, a single entity of other types can certify 50 mini programs. In other words, if you are a business entity, you can get 50 email addresses, apply for 50 accounts, and develop 50 small programs, and each one must be certified before it can be released. So be careful when setting names. Once you set one, you lose one chance.

In addition, for the server domain name, I would like to emphasize again that https must be configured, otherwise you will not be able to use the API to request network data.

After the mini program is uploaded, enter the WeChat official account backend, click Submit for review, and fill in the review information after completing the identity verification.

After submitting for review, an icon QR code will pop up. Scan the QR code to fill in some supplementary information to configure and add function pages. These function pages are mainly to facilitate users to quickly search for your application. You can add multiple functional pages to increase the probability of being searched.

Title: It is recommended to fill in the brand name of the merchant;

’s service category: It is recommended to choose the business category of the merchant; (Please do not choose the e-commerce platform )

Tags: It is recommended to fill in some tags related to your own brand;

will be displayed as "under review" after submission, and it will take about two or three working days. Passed (this is the time when the author's mini program is reviewed, this time is not necessarily determined, it depends on the specific situation). After the submission is reviewed and approved, enter developer management and submit for release. Only then will the mini program be released online to provide services.
