This article will explain and help you publish your new app in the Google Play Store.

Important:
if you open the account after NOV 2023 and you have a personal account google will ask you do to close testing with 20 testers before you can go to production as Google article:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14151465#overview

This requirement is for personal accounts and not for business/Organization account. If you are a legal business you can ask Google to change your account type:

Login to your Google Play Developer Console: https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers.
Click Developer account (left-menu)
Click About you (First option under Account Details)
Click Change account type (top of the page)

 

Close Testing: (if the production option is open in you account you can skip it)

As google guidelines, personal accounts that opened after nov 2023 need to make close testing to every new app with 20 testers for 14 days.

Go to close testing and enter  the testing track

After entering the track management you will have a screen that will alow you to add testers (they emails) , select countries and manage the test release that you need to send to review.

After you send the app for Google review you need to wait for Google approval. (can take a couple of days)
and then you will see on the app dashboard a section that shows you your test progress and requirements and an option to ask for “Apply For Production”

Productions: 

After you asked us to upload the app to your Google Play developer account, We uploaded a signed APK file to your account.

Now, Google requests details about the app, content rating, prices, countries where the app will publish, screenshots, etc.

 

Before starting, it is important to know that Google and Apple are interested in useful applications and not in advertising applications so it is recommended to describe the usefulness of the application and not write a promotional caption.
