I only suggest not to force you because you are in problem to buy console so i suggest and my friend buy old play console every month (because he has a good business in apps) so he didn’t face any problems till now.

Thanks for the suggestion but I will not go with this

No major alternative is available but you can take a look at aptoide or other such stores, and upload the app there for free.

@ravigarg

aptoide or other such stores

Thanks for the suggestion. But I heard/read somewhere that many users have complained about apps showing malicious behavior that are being downloaded from these stores. Though the developer of respective apps deny such things . May be a rumor I guess but don’t know the exact thing

Not exactly malicious but spammy rather, they show a lot of ads in their mobile app store (app).
But still many users install these apps for downloading apps not available on play store, and it is for free so there should be no problem in publishing your app there. Particularly Aptoide doesn’t spam a lot but other stores like 9Apps does.

But, this is not true

@Vaibhav

about apps showing malicious behavior that are being downloaded from these stores.

@ravigarg

this is not true

Yes and that’s why

@Vaibhav

May be a rumor I guess

@Vaibhav

What about all the contact info they take including your detailed address?Is all of these shown publicly?

Anyone have answer to this? (I guess Google play also ask for this)

[ravigarg]

@Vaibhav

I guess Google play also ask for this

Yes they do but they never show it until you confirm.
They collect that as a proof of billing to an address.

Ok thanks

There won’t be any profit in uploading app on amazon store, You should upload apps on google play store.

So, I just needed some help with following

1. Do anyone here have Amazon developer account? If yes what is your experience until now?

I haven’t read all the posts here. Just so much on this:

I have had an Amazon Developer account for many years and also published some of my apps on Amzon. Then came the horrible Amazon “Underground” and I put all apps offline. Then came the Amazon App Store and I updated the apps and offered them again, at the same prices as in the Play Store and the Apple App Store. Result: very few downloads, it is actually not worth it.

And yes, you also have to store a lot of personal data there, including tax data etc. I wouldn’t do that to myself anymore.

My apps in the Amazon App Store are built with AI2. I did only a few changes to the Play Store versions. So the APKs are almost the same as in the Play Store.

Well, it does bring some profit, but it is very little compared to the Play Store.
And even less compared to the Apple App Store.

Try APK Pure
https://apkpure.com
Nothing beats Google Play Store
Earn some money by publishing apps on other apps stores like APK Pure
And buy Play Console

[sonumohammad333 (Sonu Mohammad)]

I am similar to you
I am using Kodular from 2 years
But did not publish a single app

[Wallpaperli (Developer)]

no one talking about

samsung galaxy app store which is free and Samsung is a global leading smartphone vendor. Over 1.2 billion smartphones were sold to end users worldwide in 2016 alone.

[sonumohammad333 (Sonu Mohammad)]

Yes Galaxy App Store is another good option
I am using a Samsung Phone but I use Google Play Store to install apps
