MOBILE_STORE_STEP_REQUIRED

What it means. The app's server and web version are live. Publishing the phone app to the App Store or Google Play is not something the platform does yet.

What to do. Tell the person their app is usable now: open the link on the phone and choose 'Add to Home Screen'. A store listing is a separate step that needs their own Apple Developer account ($99/year) or Google Play account ($25) and a review by Apple or Google; once connected, the build and upload can be automated, but that is not available yet. Do not promise a store release or a date.
