How To Create A App In Play Store:

Creating apps on Play Store isn’t hard if I break it down into steps, which are:

Step 1: Create Your App First

You can create your app with Android Studio, which you can download from Android Developer’s site Google (https://developer.android.com). But, programming is required to create an app. You can hire a professional to develop an app if you can’t do it. Or learn to program and develop your app.

Step 2: Create an Account on Google Play Developer Console

You must access the developer’s dashboard or account to create and add your app to Google Play Store. So you have to create an account on the Google Play Developer Console. You just have to pay only $25 (one-time fee), and you can upload unlimited apps and games from there for the rest of your life.

Now, the Developer Console offers a wide range of features and options to make your app creation easy.

Step 3: Link Google Merchant Wallet Account with Developer Account

If you want to earn from your app with in-app purchases and downloads, you have to link your account merchant account to manage all the sales. You can link an account with your Developer account with these steps:

1. Sign in on the Google Developer Console account.
2. Tap on the “Reports.”
3. Tap on the “Financial Reports” from the submenu.
4. You will be directed to a webpage where you will see “Set up a merchant account now” – tap on it, fill in all the details, and add your merchant account.

Step 4: Create and Publish the App

Everything is linked and added; you can create your app on Play Store and publish it. Just Log in o your developer account and follow my lead:

1. From the Google Play Console menus, tap on “All Applications.”
2. From the submenu, tap on “Create Application.”
3. A drop-down menu will appear. Select the “Language” there.
4. Give a “Title” to your app.
5. Tap on “Create.”

Step 5: Store Listing

On the Google Play Console, you can see the “Store Listing” option – tap on it. A page will appear on the right side. You have to fill in the necessary details regarding the app there.

You already filled in some of the sections, and now you have to do that again. Sections like app title, app language, translations, and a short description of your app within 8-30 words.

Step 6: APK or App Bundles Upload on the Play Store

You must now upload the app APK or APP Bundle on the Play Store.

1. Tap on “Release Management” on the Google Play Console.
2. Tap on “App Release.”

6. Tap on “OPT-OUT.”
7. Tap on “Browse Files,” choose the APK, and upload it with the given instructions.

Step 7: Content Rating

The app you created must have a rating option so that users can rate their experience. If your app doesn’t have a rating section, it may be removed from the Play Store. So, you must go to the menu and tap “Continue,” When you are redirected to a page, fill in your Email address and other details for adding content rating and tap “Confirm.”

You have to add some questions for content rating for users to fill in and rate your app. So, add a questionnaire on the content rating like:

2. Tap on “Calculate Rating.”
3. Tap on “Apply.”

Step 8: App Pricing and Distribution

Now, you have to decide the price for your app – whether you would like to release it free for users or paid instead. And also, make sure to choose countries where you want to release your app. That’s because Google Play Store doesn’t allow developers to release apps worldwide. Instead, they have to release it in selected countries.

1. Go to the “Price and Distribution” from the Google Play Console.
2. Choose either “Free” or “Paid.”
3. If the app is suitable for kids under 13, select “Yes.” Otherwise, choose “No.”
4. If you want to allow ads, select “Yes.” Otherwise, tap on “No.”
