Google announced that anyone 18 or older can now publish Android apps built with AI Studio to the Play Store without a paid developer account, which previously required a one-time $25 registration fee.
The apps remain privately listed, serving only their creator and never appearing in Play Store search or recommendations — drastically lowering the barrier from AI Studio prototype to a real installable Android app.
