Google Play users worldwide downloaded\u00a0111.3 billion mobile apps<\/a> in 2021, up from 76 billion apps in 2018. As per a report by\u00a0Sensor Tower<\/a>, user spending on Google Play is projected to reach $60 billion by 2023 from $53 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 19%.<\/p>\n

In March 2022, around\u00a097% of all Android applications were available for free<\/a>. And this clearly shows the prominence of android app development.<\/p>\n

Now, it is easy to develop an android app, but the real question is, how do you publish the app? If you have the same question, we shall be discussing just that in this blog. And by the end of you will know how to publish your market-leading into Google\u2019s Play Store with a few easy steps.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Publish Android App to Google Play Store: Step by Step Uploading Process<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Publish<\/p>\n

More than 3,700 android apps are published on Google Play Store and you can be one of them.<\/p>\n

Each business has different goals and expectations when they develop an android app<\/strong>. Some want to generate revenue, others want to attract more customers to their business, some show paid promotions, and so on.<\/p>\n

Something that remains common in all of it is Google Play stores ample opportunities for everything. You see, there are billions of people who use the play store and they develop each year multi-billion apps are downloaded.<\/p>\n

Now, you can take advantage of all of it simply by developing an android app that fits your business needs and publishing it on Google Play Store, the online marketplace <\/strong>for Android apps, that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

Therefore, let\u2019s see how you publish an android app in an easy step-by-step process, starting by\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/span>1) Create a Google Developers Account <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The very first thing you need to do is create a developer’s account for Google Play Store. Now, this can be done before, after, or during custom android app development <\/strong><\/a>process, doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

But something that you should know is, that without this account, you can\u2019t publish your app.<\/p>\n

Again, this can be done with your existing Google Account or create a new Google Account and then register a Google Developers Account. This can be a private account or a corporate account. It is not necessarily permanent and you can move your app to a different account in near future.<\/p>\n

\"1.<\/p>\n

Moving on, there are some things that you need to pay special attention to. This includes the Google Play Developers Distribution Agreement, you need to share some personal information, and lastly, you have to pay a one-time registration fee which is around $25.<\/p>\n

And with this, we are done with the first step. Moving on, we will be moving to the next step, which is\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/span>2) Google Play Console<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Now that you have created a Play Console, it\u2019s time to look at the developer\u2019s dashboard. Google Play Console is like a backend control centre. And the main objective of this console is enabling to submit android app to the play store.<\/p>\n

\"2.<\/p>\n

You get access to this console after creating the developer’s account as we did in the previous step. The dashboard comes with many features that make a lot of this that much easier.<\/p>\n

Now, you can ask your mobile app development services to do this for you, or you can do this yourself.\u00a0 The app goes live within 48 hours of being launched but before we do that, there are some things that we need to take care of.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3) Integrate Developer\u2019s Account to Google Wallet Merchant Account<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

As the title suggests, we need to add a Google Wallet Merchant Account with a developers account. \u00a0But one might wonder why Wallet Integration is important?<\/p>\n

This is because there are mobile applications that support the in-app purchase. And if your mobile app has the same, you need to add a merchant account into the developer’s account, so that you can receive payments.<\/p>\n

\"3.<\/p>\n

Coming back, here is how you do it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The first thing you need to do is log in to the Google Play Console<\/li>\n
  2. From here, you go to the \u201cREPORT<\/strong>\u201d.<\/li>\n
  3. Then click on the \u201cFINANCIAL REPORTS\u201d. <\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. From here, you will see an option under the name \u201cSET UP A MERCHANT NOW<\/strong>\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. After clicking on the option, you can fill in all the required details.<\/li>\n
  6. Following this, it automatically integrates with the console account.<\/li>\n
  7. Now, you can manage sales and revenue through the Console<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is all there is to merchant account integration. Now, there are some apps that are totally free and don\u2019t require any merchant account integration.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>4) Create An Android Mobile Application<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    This is a step you can\u2019t ignore when learning how to submit an app to the Google play store.\u00a0While the title of the step might suggest something, we aren\u2019t talking about sort of development, an app development company <\/strong><\/a>does.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"Create<\/p>\n

    Here, you are creating an app in the app store. Let\u2019s see how it works. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
