Create your app in Play Console and upload the first file

Create the app with the package name we give you, and upload the first file. After that, we upload every version for you.

Google needs you to create the app and upload its first file yourself. We make the file; it appears on your checklist about 30 minutes after you invite us. Every later version goes up without you.

1. Create the app

  1. 1On the Play Console home page, press Create app.
  2. 2Copy in the App name and Package name from your checklist.

Copy the package name exactly

It must match the file we made for you, and it can’t be changed later. Use the copy button on your checklist. It looks like com.nobexinc.wls_….rc.
