Publish to the Google Play Store
Overview of the Android journey — the steps to follow, in order, to bring your app to the Google Play Store.
This section walks you from zero to publishing your app on the Google Play Store. Every page describes what you see on screen and what to do, without technical knowledge.
How to follow this guide
Follow the pages in order — each one prepares the next. Plan a first pass to create your Google accounts (the developer account is paid, $25 one-time), then the following steps take just a few minutes each.
