Now it is an accuracy time. You have to add a new application on Google Play. The task is to fill in all necessary fields until their checkmarks turn green. Type down your app’s name, choose a default language, add short and long descriptions. Here you are free to use keywords for app store optimization. Decide on the app category, app content info. Work on your privacy policy, target audience, and content rating.

After you are done with the text info, go to the app releases section, and upload your APK file. The file of your app should be under 50MB size to be accepted.
