 Each stable release publishes the screenshots committed under `assets/store-screenshots/output/` (see [its README](../assets/store-screenshots/README.md) for how they are made). To change the store screenshots, re-render and commit them before you tag.
 
 - **App Store:** `submit_review` uploads `output/apple/` and `output/apple-ipad/` to the version it submits, replacing that version's `en-US` screenshots. Apple ties screenshots to an app version, so a version that is already live keeps the ones it shipped with. `Resubmit iOS for App Store review` uploads them again.
-- **Google Play:** `upload_android_screenshots` runs `fastlane android upload_screenshots` after `submit_android`. It replaces only the phone and 10-inch tablet screenshots, never the listing text or changelogs, and skips images whose checksum already matches.
+  - When `submit_review` fails with `appStoreVersions … is not in valid state`, the reason is in the API error's `meta.associatedErrors`, which fastlane does not print. Read it with a `POST /v1/reviewSubmissionItems` against the version. A required age-rating question that Apple added, such as `socialMedia`, fails this way; answer it under App Information > Age Rating in App Store Connect, then resubmit.
+- **Google Play:** `upload_android_screenshots` runs `fastlane android upload_screenshots` after `submit_android`. It replaces only the `en-US` phone and 10-inch tablet screenshots, never the listing text or changelogs, and skips images whose checksum already matches. The lane stages only `en-US`: supply uploads every locale folder in one edit, and Play rejects F-Droid locales such as `ja`, which fails the whole edit. `Upload Google Play screenshots` reruns the step for the current release without a rebuild.
 - **F-Droid:** reads the same files as Google Play. `fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/phoneScreenshots/` and `tenInchScreenshots/` hold symlinks to the Google renders. `render.mjs` rewrites them on every render, so added or renamed panels reach Google Play and F-Droid as well.
 
 Fastlane cannot use the Play key Expo stores for `eas submit`. The Play lane reads its own copy of the same service-account key from the `GOOGLE_PLAY_JSON_KEY` file secret in the EAS `production` environment, and that service account needs the Play Console permission **Manage store presence**.
