Before you can get your Android app in Google Play, you need to set up a developer account and register your app with Google.

Register your Android app with Google.

To submit your app to Google Play you’ll need to create a developer account with Google. This account allows you to create apps for Android and also manages payment for any app sales. 


  • Here’s how to set up an account and update your developer settings. Registering an account with Google is free, and you can create a developer account at any time. 

  • To start, you’ll need to create a new account. Google will ask you some basic details, such as your full name, email address and country of residence, and you’ll also be asked to select a country for sales tax purposes. 

  • Next, you’ll need to create a new password for your developer account. You can choose your own password or let Google generate a new one for you. This password will serve as your login, so if you lose it you won’t be able to sign in to your account. Similarly, anyone who wants to sign up to be a developer will also be prompted to create a separate password.


Set up an Android developer account.

After you’ve created a developer account with Google, you can then set up an Android developer account. This adds your developer account to the list of all Android app developers on Google Play.

 Since there are over 2 million active developers on the platform, this can help increase your visibility and make it easier for users to find your app. 

To set up an Android developer account, go to developer.google.com. From there, click the “Create a new app” button in the middle of the page. 

On the next page, select “Android” as your app type. You’ll now be taken to the Android dashboard, where you can begin setting up your developer account.


Sign in to your Google Play developer account.

With a developer account set up and an app added to Google Play, you’ll then need to sign in to your Google Play developer account. This allows you to view data about your app and manage payments, including any reviews you’ve received. 

It’s also where you’ll be able to enable testing features like app analytics and crash reporting. To sign in, go to developer.google.com/dashboard. Enter your credentials to log in, and you’ll be taken to the dashboard for your developer account.


Add your app to Google Play.

After you’ve signed in to your account, you’ll be able to add your apps to Google Play. This shows your app to users, collects ratings and reviews and generates revenue through ads. It’s especially important to add your app to Google Play as soon as you’ve created it. 

You don’t want to miss the chance to collect some revenue by waiting too long. To begin adding your app to Google Play, click the “Add a new app” button on the left-hand side of the dashboard. You’ll be asked to enter basic details about your app, such as the name, description, and category. You’ll also need to enter a mandatory keywords field to help users find your app.


Submit your app for review.

After you’ve added your app to Google Play, you’ll need to submit it for review. This is typically done at the same time as submitting your app for review on the Google Play store. To submit your app for review, click the “Submit for review” button in the Developer Console. This will take you to the official submission form, which you’ll need to fill out. If your app is approved for review, it’ll be taken to the store for Google to review.


Conclusion.

The sooner you get your app into the Google Play store, the sooner it’s likely to generate revenue. This is especially important if you want to make money from apps, as it’s a great way to get exposure. 

To get your app into the Google Play store, you’ll first need to set up an Android developer account. After that, you can add your app to Google Play. 

Finally, submit your app for review and wait for it to get approved. If you’ve gotten this far, you’ve already taken a big step towards making money with your app. If you need help getting your app into the Google Play store, contact a developer account services provider today.
