Open a Google Play account and invite Nobex

Open your developer account, invite the Nobex publishing account, and give us your Account ID.

You invite Nobex the way you would invite a colleague. We never get your password, and you can remove us any time.

1. Open your account

  1. 1Go to play.google.com/console/signup and sign in with the Google account that should own the app.
  2. 2Choose An organization or business or Yourself, whichever you chose.
  3. 3Pay the one-time $25 fee, then confirm your email and phone with the codes Google sends.
  4. 4Finish Google’s identity check. It can take a few days; you can do step 2 meanwhile.

Personal accounts: one more check

Google asks you to confirm a real Android phone once (Android 10 or later). On the Play Console home page, open the device verification task, scan the code with the phone, install the Play Console app, sign in and tap Verify. A borrowed phone is fine.

2. Invite Nobex

  1. 1On the Play Console home page, press Manage account, then Users and permissions.
The Manage account page with Users and permissions highlighted
  1. 1Press Invite new users.
The Users and permissions page with the Invite new users button highlighted
  1. 1In Email address, paste nobex-publisher@nobex-streaming.iam.gserviceaccount.com (your checklist has a copy button).
  2. 2Open Account permissions and tick Admin (all permissions).
  3. 3Press Invite user, then Send invite.
The Invite user form filled in, with Account permissions and Admin ticked

There is nothing to accept: it is a publishing account, not a person. Access usually starts within minutes.

3. Tell us your Account ID

It is the long number under your account name, on the Play Console home page and on Manage account. It is also in the address, after /developers/.

Where the Account ID appears, under the account name (blurred here)

Paste it on your checklist (the whole address works too) and press I invited Nobex, check. We then start making your Android app.

Why Admin?

Publishing touches releases, the store listing, the content forms and the review. Admin covers them all, so we don’t have to ask you again for each one. Some actions stay with you, the account owner, such as the payments profile.

How do I remove Nobex?

Users and permissions → the Nobex address → Manage → remove the user. Your app stays in your account.
