On August 18, 2026, Tencent's App Store made an announcement that its AI-driven app development platform, Toast, has rolled out an "App Listing" function along with a "Developer Benefits Package". Leveraging natural language, users can create Android apps directly within Toast and streamline processes such as software copyright registration, app filing, and the generation of compliance documents—all in a single, integrated workflow. Once the listing application is submitted and approved, the app becomes eligible for distribution on the App Store. Toast harnesses AI to automatically extract app details and screenshots, aiding in form completion and significantly cutting down the processing time for offline applications to as little as one week. Additionally, the platform presents two subscription tiers: Plus (priced at RMB 899 for 180 days) and Pro (priced at RMB 7,999 for 365 days), with the Pro tier offering extra services like multi-platform listing guidance and ad component integration. At present, this service is exclusively tailored for Android apps on Toast.
