Though Publishing is one of the major tasks, but it also involves constant Monitoring.
The first thing would be to publish your application. The go-to places for publishing are usually Google play in the case of androids and the apple app store in the case of iPhones. The next task is to Monitor the application and see who all are daily active users of your app, which is clearly going to tell you how many apps the users have installed and who all engaging in your app. There is also an option of looking at the Monthly Active Users which will tell the graph of monthly users.
Researchers say that app maintenance typically needs added expenses; In the first year maintenance expenses could be really high which can come up to 50% of the total development cost and decreases 15-25% in the next few years.
