Google Play feature graphic and tablet screenshots provided
Why it matters
The 1024x500 feature graphic is a hard publication requirement for Google Play — the Play Console will not let you promote a release to production without it. Apps that declare tablet support in AndroidManifest.xml but ship only phone screenshots land in Play's "low quality for large screens" bucket, which demotes them in tablet and Chromebook search results and surfaces a warning banner in the Play Console pre-launch report.
Severity rationale
Info because impact is limited to Android discoverability and Play Console pre-launch warnings, not outright rejection beyond the graphic itself.
Remediation
Create a 1024x500 PNG feature graphic and commit it to fastlane/metadata/android/images/featureGraphic.png so it uploads automatically on every fastlane supply run. For apps declaring <supports-screens android:xlargeScreens="true">, capture at least two tablet screenshots (2048x1536 or 2560x1600) from a tablet emulator and commit them to fastlane/metadata/android/<locale>/images/tenInchScreenshots/.
