I have developed an app on Android Studio. Due to some issues, I couldn't submit the whole source code so I just submitted one file. And also I couldn't submit the screenshots of app and the project file. But I have submitted the working app links. I am having the source code right now with me but as I said I couldn't submit that. So will my app applicable for evaluation?
