Creating Your Google Developer Account

AppInstitute now exclusively submits apps to organisation accounts due to Google's recent change in requirements for personal developer accounts, which mandate a 14-day closed test with a minimum of 20 testers.

This shift simplifies the deployment process, reducing technical barriers for our clients

Organisation accounts enable a faster time to market, offer enhanced professionalism and trust, and streamline account management.

This guide will walk you through the steps to create an organisation account, ensuring a smooth and efficient app deployment process with AppInstitute.
