Apps are submitted for review through the CLI. To launch your app:

1. Add a user-friendly overview in your app’s `README.md`.
2. Run `npx devvit upload` for the version you want to launch.
3. Run `npx devvit publish`.
2. Run `npx devvit publish`.

You can optionally choose the version bump type with `--bump`:
- `npx devvit publish --bump major`
- `npx devvit publish --bump minor`
- `npx devvit publish --bump patch` (default)

`--bump` accepts only `major`, `minor`, or `patch`, and cannot be used with `--version`.

If you prefer to set a specific version directly, use `--version`:
- `npx devvit publish --version 1.0.1`

`--version` must be a stable version (for example, `1.0.1`), prerelease versions are not allowed, and it cannot be used with `--bump`.

Once submitted, your app enters Reddit’s review queue. Our team evaluates your code, example posts, and app documentation.
