The Secrets to App Success on Google Play

Not long ago I got an email from Google Play with a great pdf file that I want to share with you today. Quoting the forementioned email, the attached document is "a guide to features and best practices that will help you grow a successful app business".

You can find the guide here.

What's inside?

  • Motivations for publishing on Google Play.
  • Technical advice on how to set up an account and publish apps.
  • Information on how to test, release, update, debug, track, and optimize apps.
  • (Material) Design hints and quality guidelines for phones, tablets, TVs, and wearables.
  • Clues on how to win more users and then keep them.
  • Advice concerning ads and in-app payments.
  • Instructions on how to measure things that matter.
  • Tips for publishing in various parts of the world.

In other words, it's a must-read for any Android developer, no matter where they decide to publish their apps. Go find out yourself.
