00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:01.660
Hi and welcome back.

2
00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:02.740
In our previous video,

3
00:00:02.770 --> 00:00:06.100
we discussed the importance of having
an Apple developer account.

4
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.540
Today we're going to dive into another
crucial aspect of app distribution,

5
00:00:09.570 --> 00:00:12.660
which is creating a Google Play Store
developer account.

6
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:14.400
In this video, we'll explore why it's

7
00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:17.100
necessary, the cost involved,
the available plans,

8
00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:20.420
and why having a Google Play Store
developer account is essential

9
00:00:20.450 --> 00:00:23.980
for publishing your application
on the Android platform.

10
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.780
Let's start by understanding why

11
00:00:25.810 --> 00:00:28.620
you need a Google Play Store
developer account.

12
00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:32.540
When you develop an application using
React, native or any other framework,

13
00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:35.900
you'll likely want to reach
Android users as well.

14
00:00:35.930 --> 00:00:38.220
So Google Play Store is the primary

15
00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:42.180
marketplace for Android apps,
and having a Google Play Store developer

16
00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:45.460
account is a requirement
for publishing your apps there.

17
00:00:45.490 --> 00:00:46.660
The cost associated

18
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:51.860
with a Google Play Store developer
account, to my knowledge, is $25.

19
00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:56.780
This fee grants you access
to the Google Play developer console,

20
00:00:56.810 --> 00:01:00.500
where you can manage your app listings,
track performance, and more.

21
00:01:00.530 --> 00:01:02.820
So I'm going to show you how to register.

22
00:01:02.850 --> 00:01:06.460
I'm going to put this link inside our

23
00:01:06.490 --> 00:01:09.930
resources as well,
so feel free to navigate there.

24
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:13.740
I'm just going to turn
on two step verification.

25
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.260
Great.

26
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.900
Now that I have went through
the verification process,

27
00:01:16.930 --> 00:01:20.660
I can get started with creating
my Google Developer account.

28
00:01:20.690 --> 00:01:22.780
So I'm going to get started with.

29
00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:25.490
This, and I'm going to say I've

30
00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.380
built apps but never published it,
even though this is not true.

31
00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:35.620
And I will say no to this.
Whoops.

32
00:01:35.650 --> 00:01:36.900
I got to say yes.

33
00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:41.400
I'll enter the addresses that I've used,
and then I got to enter the URL

34
00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:45.850
of my website, and I'm not going to do
it because I don't have a website.

35
00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:51.780
So I'm going to click on Next,
and then I'm redirected here.

36
00:01:51.810 --> 00:01:54.570
It says, Enter a public name
for this developer account.

37
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:56.140
This will be shown on Google Play.

38
00:01:56.170 --> 00:02:01.280
I'm going to enter gridgum email address
here,

39
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.600
and then preferred
language would be English.

40
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.940
My contact address would
be in United States.

41
00:02:14.970 --> 00:02:18.100
And I'll enter my address here.

42
00:02:18.130 --> 00:02:21.680
And now I'm redirected to this page,

43
00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:27.720
and I'm going to say that I'm
planning to publish one application.

44
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:29.860
I'm going to say that I don't

45
00:02:29.890 --> 00:02:34.840
know if I want to do this,
and I'm going to say none of

46
00:02:34.870 --> 00:02:42.980
the above, then I'm going to click Next,
and I'll agree to the terms.

47
00:02:43.010 --> 00:02:47.100
And then I'll make a payment of $25.
Great.

48
00:02:47.130 --> 00:02:49.460
Now my developer account has been created.

49
00:02:49.490 --> 00:02:54.100
If I go to Google Play console
for my account, I'm going to see this page

50
00:02:54.130 --> 00:02:58.660
here, and if I want to create
my first app, I can do so from here.

51
00:02:58.690 --> 00:03:01.460
We're going to do this together later.

52
00:03:01.490 --> 00:03:03.980
All I wanted to do with this video is show

53
00:03:04.010 --> 00:03:08.060
you how to register and create
your Google Developer account.

54
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.840
Thank you so much for watching,
and I'll see you in the next video.
