Time the app was last published, as a UTC timestamp in ISO 8601 format, or null if it has never been published.

screenshot_urlstring nullable

URL of a screenshot of the published app. Captured shortly after each publish, so it can briefly lag or be null right after publishing.

preview_screenshot_urlstring nullable

URL of a preview screenshot taken before publishing, distinct from screenshot_url, or null if none has been captured.

main_branch_protectedboolean nullable

Whether the app's main branch is protected, so changes to main must go through a branch that's merged back. Change it with Set main branch protection.
