Publish Guide

From build to Play Store
in six steps

You already have a signed AAB. Now get it into users' hands. Follow these steps to publish your live wallpaper on Google Play.

01

Create a Google Play Developer account

Head to play.google.com/console and sign up. Google charges a one-time $25 registration fee. Once approved (usually within 48 hours), you can publish apps.

02

Build your signed AAB in LWP Creator

Complete steps 01-05 in the creator: choose your source, import media, configure the editor, and set your app identity. Then hit "Build & sign" in step 06. Your signed .AAB will be ready in about 90 seconds.

03

Create a new app in Play Console

In Google Play Console, click "Create app." Choose "App" (not game), set the language, enter your app name, and accept the declarations. This creates a draft listing.

04

Fill out the store listing

Upload your app icon (512x512 PNG), feature graphic (1024x500), and at least 2 screenshots. Write a short description (80 chars) and a full description (up to 4000 chars). Select the Live Wallpaper category.

05

Upload the AAB and roll out

Go to Release > Production > "Create new release." Upload the .AAB file you downloaded from LWP Creator. Add release notes (e.g., "Initial release"). Review and roll out to production.

06

Wait for review and go live

Google reviews new apps, which typically takes a few hours to a few days. Once approved, your live wallpaper is available on the Play Store. You can track installs and revenue in Play Console.
