Publishing

You easily know enough to design your own app. You could even just make some modifications to one of the apps from this book.

I decided not to include a step-by-step guide to publishing on Google's Play Store because the steps are not complicated. They are, however, quite in-depth and a little laborious. Most of the steps involve entering personal information about you and your app as well as images. Such a tutorial would read something like this:

1. Fill this text box.
2. Now fill that text box.
3. Upload this image.
4. And so on.

Not much fun, and not very useful.

To get started, you just need to visit https://play.google.com/apps/publish and pay a modest one-off fee (around $25, depending on your region's currency). This allows you to publish games for life.
