How do freelancers publish apps for clients without a developer account?
Freelancers generally use one of three routes: get added to the client’s console as a user with release permissions (best when the client already has an account), publish through a publisher or agency partner and transfer the app to the client at handover, or open their own account and keep client apps on it. The third is the trap — one client’s policy violation can strike an account carrying every other client’s app. Keep client work off a shared personal account.
Own a Google Play developer account?
ConsoleMint is an app monetization company: it builds Android apps, publishes them, maintains them and monetizes them with in-app advertising, then shares the ad revenue with the publishing partner whose Google Play account distributes them. Developer-role access only — never owner access, never a password — revocable with 30 days notice.
