Creating MemberPress App Listing in Google Play Console

Getting your Android app into Google's ecosystem starts with setting it up in the Google Play Console. This guide walks you through creating a new app listing, naming your app, choosing its default language, defining its type and pricing, and agreeing to Google's policies so you're ready for publishing and testing in the next steps.

Understanding App Listing Requirements

App listing requirements define necessary configurations for Google Play Store presence and distribution eligibility.

App name selection establishes brand identity and search discoverability in the Google Play Store. App name appears in store listings and on user devices after installation.

Default language configuration determines the primary language for store listing content and communications. Language selection affects initial market targeting and localization strategy.

App type specification categorizes the application as an App or Game for proper store organization. Type selection influences search filtering and category placement in the store.

Pricing determination sets the initial monetization strategy as Free or Paid distribution. Pricing can be modified before publication, but requires careful consideration of the revenue model.

Policy compliance acknowledgment confirms understanding of Google Play distribution requirements and export regulations. Agreement acceptance is mandatory for app publication eligibility.
