Re: ASF Android release policy
Hello, Infra have done a lot of the work on this now. They needed an ASF email address to act as the release manager so I have used mine. We'll see how it goes.

Hello, Thanks for all the advice. I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-12614 to ask for an ASF Google play account.

Making a convenience binary available in an App store is not dissimilar to making JAR files available via Maven Central. The ASF has already set up the appropriate accounts to do this for the Apple app store. A quick look around Google's site suggests a similar process will be required. The best way forward would be to create an Infra ticket to: - create an ASF account with Google (managed by infra) - add named release managers to that account so they can release apps on behalf of the PMC ASF Legal will need to review the Ts associated with the account. I'd expect infra to ask for review as required. One immediate question is do we want this as an ASF wide account or per PMC? At $25 per account, one per PMC isn't outrageous but my own infra experience says that it would be better to start with a single ASF account managed by infra. We can always create additional PMC acocunts later if necessary. Finally, Infra does also provide access to a code signing service you can use to sign you apps if that is useful. Probably only if you want to distribute apps outside of Google play.

What exactly must be done to "release an Android app to the Google play store"?

ASF Android release policy
Hello, In the Taverna Incubator project we have been developing an Android mobile app which is almost ready for a first release. Are there any ASF procedures and policies for doing an Android release? Can an ASF based Android app be released into the Google play store (or others)? Cheers, Ian
