To publish your app on the Google Play Store, you need to create a Google Play Developer Account first. This developer account is where your published apps will be associated with your name. All the apps you publish will be listed under this account. On various platforms, this account is also referred to as the Google Play Console Account.
During the developer account creation process, there are two different types of developer accounts:
- Individual Developer Account
- Corporate Developer Account
What Type of Developer Account Should I Have?
Developers with individual developer accounts must meet certain app testing requirements before they are eligible to publish their apps on Google Play.
Starting from November 13, 2023, developers creating personal accounts must test their apps with at least 20 test users for 14 days before publishing them. Otherwise, Google Play will not allow the app to be published. Based on our experience, during the first 14 days of the testing process, Google Play will generally reject your app, and you will need to initiate a second 14-day testing process. Therefore, at least 28 days will be required to publish the app.
If you already have a developer account created before November 13, 2023, this rule does not apply, and you can directly publish your app.
If you don’t want to deal with the testing process and you are a company, we definitely recommend creating a Corporate Developer Account.
To create a Corporate Developer Account, you will need a DUNS number for your company. How to get it is detailed in the corporate developer account creation documentation.
