About this project
Like the iOS App Store, getting through Play Console teaches you everything tutorials don't cover: signing, the closed/open testing tracks, screenshots that pass review, the actual feedback loops. Pick a niche utility — a tip calculator, a unit converter, a habit tracker — and ship it. Aim for 100 downloads.
Why build this in 2026?
A live Play Store app is the most concrete proof of Android shipping ability.
