To publish and manage an Android app on the Google Play Store, you need a Google Play Developer Account. This account allows you to submit apps, view performance statistics, respond to user reviews, and manage app updates. Follow this guide to set up your Google Play Developer Account.
Step-by-Step Guide
Go to the Google Play Console website.
Sign in using the Google Account you want to associate with your Developer Account.
You’ll be prompted to review the Developer Distribution Agreement. This agreement outlines Google’s policies and requirements for publishing apps on the Play Store.
Carefully read the agreement, then check the box to indicate that you accept the terms.
Click Continue to proceed.
You’ll be required to pay a one-time registration fee of $25 USD.
Enter your payment details (credit or debit card) and complete the transaction.
Once the payment is processed, you’ll be able to proceed with your account setup.
After completing the payment, you’ll be directed to fill out your Developer Profile. This profile includes important information about you or your business that will be associated with your account
Developer Name: This name will be visible to users on the Google Play Store. It could be your personal name or your business name.
Contact Information: Include an email address that users can reach out to for support.
Website: (Optional) You can add your website if you have one.
