Inviting Staffbase to your Google Play Console account allows Staffbase to manage your employee app in the Google Play Store. This means we’ll take care of creating and maintaining the app store page for your app, publishing your app each release, and solving rejections when possible.

Creating the Google App

To start the processes and configure the settings from Google’s side, you need to create an empty app. As this app won’t go live yet, it does not have content yet and many settings can still be changed later. For example, the app name doesn’t need to be final. 

1. Sign in to the Google Play Console.
2. Navigate to All apps > Create app.
3. Select a default language.
   The language can be finalized later. 
4. Enter an app name.
   The name can be finalized later. 
5. Specify your application as an App.
6. Specify your application as Free.
   
   
7. If you agree with the laws, terms, and policies given in the Declarations section, acknowledge all of the following:
   • Developer Program Policies
   • US export laws
   You can only proceed if you acknowledge all. In case of questions, consult with your professional legal advisor. Staffbase cannot provide any legal advice.
   
8. Click Create app.
