Why do I need to do this?

To publish apps on Google Play, you must verify that you have access to an Android mobile device.

Ensuring that developers have access to a real mobile device for developing and testing Android apps helps to improve app quality, protect users from the spread of malware, and reduce fraud.

Note:
Only the account owner can verify this information.

Verify your Google Play Console

Step 1. Verify your Google Developers Account on your Android device.

To verify that you have access to a mobile device you will need to open the Google Play Console app on an Android mobile device. If you don't have the Google Play Console app, go to How to download Google Play Console on your Android Device.

Note:
If you do not have an Android Device, go to Android Device Not Available.

Step 2. Sign in to the Google Console App and verify your account

Sign into your Google Account with the Google Console email address used to sign into your Play Console. 

To sign into your Google Developer Account:

  • Click the hamburger icon located in the top-left corner of your mobile device:
