publish - Publishing my first android application in Android market

Question

I want publish my app in the android market. How much time does it take to make an android developer account verified by google. also what other things I should do ?

Answer 1

Google has an extensive guide on the steps to take an the things you need to publish your application on the market:

Preparing to publish: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/preparing.html

Publishing on Android market: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html

After paying for the developer account, it takes less than a day to get approved.

In my experience, when you have prepared everything, the time it takes to upload apk and images, and paste the description text is 10 minutes.

After pressing 'Publish' it takes around 15 minutes for the app to appear on the market.
