On iOS it is possible to choose when you want your app to be visible on the store after it has been validated by Apple. Is this possible with Android and the Google Play Store?

This is now possible using timed publishing. It appears to be restricted to updates so it may not work for the initial launch unless the app is published to your alpha or beta channels first.

Solution 2 - Android

In the new Google Play Console, You could use managed publishing

>You can use managed publishing to control exactly when changes to your app are published. When managed publishing is turned on, you can clearly see which changes you submit are in review and which changes are ready for publishing on the Publishing overview page.

1- go to Publishing overview enter image description here 2- click on manage, then turn it on. enter image description here

Edit: This is now possible. See Eric P's answer.

No, this is not possible unfortunately. The best you can do is upload the apk and fill in the store listing information. Then, when you want to go live it's just a matter of clicking 'publish'. You can not do this automatically.

No you can't setting up release date on Google Play Store.

Solution 5 - Android

As mentioned above it is restricted to updates, it does not works for the very first release (unless the app is published to your alpha or beta channels first)

With that said you could use Timed Publishing feature from Google Play Store.

Basically you have to go to the Google Play Console login, then on your left menu, select Store presence that will show a page and just scroll down right to the bottom, you will see a Timed publishing switch, just turn it on, please note that once your update release/APK has been processed and you would like to publish your app scheduled as a job per se, just look for the Timed publishing header at the top of any page in your app release dashboard.

Hope this helps!
