Publish to play store.

Question

Hi, I'm 13 years old and I have created some apps that I want to publish to Google play store. But I've found out that I have to be older than 18 to publish apps on Play store.
Does anybody know why Google won't let young developers publish their apps?

Answer 1

The way I see it, you enter into a contract with Google and you have to be fully operational. This is in most countries only from 18.
And I read that you need a developer account and a credit card in addition to a normal Google account. The developer account costs $ 25. You will not get a credit card until you are fully operational, ie 18 years old.

So you only have two options: publish the apps elsewhere or ask your parents.

Answer 2

maybe it's because of legal issues? well i would say just say you're 18 it doesn't matter lol

Answer 3

then you should just wait till you're 18 first kid
