    * If the most recent build has already been submitted to iTunes, you will have the option to create a new version.

Uploading Your App to Google Play

Google Play is where you will upload the Android version of your app. Your Google Play account must be associated with a Gmail account, which will also serve as your login. We recommend using a company Gmail account to manage your Google Play store submissions.

  1. Log in to the associated Gmail account.
  2. Go to https://play.google.com/apps/publish.
  3. On the homepage, you can view app stats, filter by unpublished or draft versions, and add new apps.
