What Happens Next
Validation: We verify the package, check basic metadata (name, version, supported product), and may sign the plugin if required.
Follow-up: If anything is unclear or missing, we will contact you for clarification.
Publication: Once confirmed, we will publish the new listing or update the existing one and share the AppStore URL and/or private endpoint link.
