Guide: Creating a Play Store Developer Account
This guide shows you how to create your own Google Play Store developer account so that your app can be published under your name or your company's name.
By following the steps, you make sure that you stay the legal owner of the Play Store account, that your brand appears in the stores, and that we as Zubs GmbH can safely upload and update the app for you without you needing any technical knowledge.
