White-Label Branded Mobile Apps (Terms & Policy)
This document outlines the policy, terms, and necessary information related to the white-label branded mobile apps offered by EzyCourse. These apps are designed to provide a seamless experience for students accessing your platform via mobile devices.
By purchasing a branded app, you can enhance the platform's functionality and offer your audience a professional and engaging experience.
What Users Need to Know Before Buying
1. Timeline for App Branding and Publishing
Duration: The entire process of branding and publishing the app can take up to 4–6 weeks.
App Store Review: Delays may occur due to rejections during the Google Play Store and Apple App Store review processes. While EzyCourse adheres to all publishing guidelines, rejections are common and can extend the timeline.
2. Publishing Requirements
Developer Accounts:
Apps are published on the customer’s own Google Play Console and Apple App Store Connect accounts.
We Prefer Organizational Accounts:
For Apple App Store Connect: Individual accounts do not get full permissions, even if you add EzyCourse as an Admin.
For Google Play Console: Starting December 1, 2023, new personal accounts face additional limitations. That is why, it becomes more complex to use personal accounts over organizational ones.
New Google Play Store Requirements (Effective December 2023)
For Google Developer accounts created after December 1, 2023:
You must run a closed-app test with at least 20 testers before the app can go live in production.
Testers must opt-in and participate for at least 14 days before production access is granted.
Note: You are responsible for arranging testers. EzyCourse does not provide testers for this process.
These additional requirements highlight the importance of using an organizational account to streamline the publishing process and avoid restrictions.
3. App Customization Limitations
Supported Customizations:
You can customize the app icons, colors, logos, and the splash screen (fully customizable).
Unsupported Customizations:
Raw or deep customization of app functionality is not supported by default. Custom features are considered on-demand and subject to feasibility.
What Users Need to Know When/During Buying
1. App Support
Dedicated Support Group:
A personal group will be created with our support team, providing 24/7 assistance for queries and issues.
Ongoing Updates and Fixes:
After publishing, EzyCourse will continue to provide app updates and fixes to ensure optimal functionality.
2. Features of the Branded Mobile App

Student Features:
Students can access all their enrolled content seamlessly.

In-App Purchases:
The app supports purchases via Google Pay and Apple Pay, enabling you to sell products directly from the app.
With in app purchases, you can add products of your choice. You can also add your free contents as well. But those contents should be published on the website first.
Sign up and deleting users from app will be enable if you add in-app-purchases.
3. Additional Considerations
Publishing Group Access:
EzyCourse will require temporary access to your developer accounts for app submission. Access permissions will be revoked once the app is published successfully.
Customization Requests:
