Wix Mobile Apps: Creating and Connecting a Google Developer Account New
5 min read
Creating a Google Developer account is the first step to publishing your app on the Google Play Store. Most of the process is done through the Google Play Console and Wix guides you through each step. From your mobile app dashboard, follow the step-by-step instructions to register for an account. Then invite Wix to your account so we can submit the app on your behalf.
Note:
To create a Google Developer account, you also need to join the Google Developer Program. This is a $25 USD one-time fee that you pay separately to Google.
Step 1 | Create and connect your Google Developer account
Before you can create a Google Developer account, you need to have a Google account. If you've already signed up and connected a Google account, use the same email as your developer account to connect to Wix. Once Google verifies your account, you can move on to step 2.
To create and connect your Google Developer account:
- Go to Mobile App in your dashboard.
- Click the Your own mobile app tab or click the tab with the name of your own mobile app.
Note: If this is your first time in the mobile app dashboard, click Get Started and design your app first. - Scroll down and click Connect Accounts next to Create & connect developer accounts.
- Click Create and Connect under Google Developer account.
- Click Get Started.
Note: You need a Google account before you begin. - Click Create Account and follow the steps to create a developer account on the Google Play Console. Click Save and Continue.
Note: If you already have a developer account, you can skip this step. - Add your developer account email Google Developer account if needed. Then click Save and Continue.
Note: Your email must be the same one used for your developer account.

Step 2 | Connect your account ID and invite Wix
Important:
You can only connect your account ID and invite Wix once your account has been verified. This can take a few days.

To connect your account ID and invite Wix
- Go to Mobile App in your dashboard.
- Click the Your own mobile app tab or click the tab with the name of your own mobile app.
- Click Connect Accounts next to Create & connect developer accounts.
- Click Continue under Google Developer account.
- Add your ID number to connect your Account ID and click Save and Continue.
