ReplyDeleteThomas Mueller Let me explain: first of all you have to pay 25 euro (just convert to your currency) so you are a "google mobile developer" and they give you the possibility to upload your apps. You have to pay only once and then you'll have your store.
ReplyDeleteThen you have to create an app with Delphi and in Project Options > Provisioning create the certifies. You can upload the app using the google developer console and you'll have access to it once you've paid google.
There are some requirements to satisfy if you want your app to be in the store: you MUST have a logo, a 1024x500 banner and some screens of your app. Also I suggest you to create a nice full screen splash for your app! The customer will be happy.
I have told you only the key points, not everything, otherwise I should have written until tomorrow. If you google this stuff and read the documentation you can easily go. In short:
- Pay google to become a "google app dev" > access the google dev console
- Setup properly your delphi app in the settings (the keystore, remove the useless jar libraries to make the app less heavy)
- Read the requirements that google asks you when you upload the app ()
= when you create an app in the dev console they tell you what to do step by step.
