Google Now Lets You Upload Vibe-Coded Apps to a Private Play Store

From PC Mag: Google AI Studio lets you vibe-code your own software, but getting creations onto an Android phone or tablet has proven complicated. That’s now set to change, thanks to new tools in the Google Play Store.

In an announcement on Tuesday, Google revealed tools to help you share your own personal software across devices. These apps won't be available to the public; instead, they'll be in what it calls a “private, secure” section of the Play Store, stylized as "Your personal library."

It means you won’t need a developer account, allowing you to upload or download using your standard login on any compatible device. You can use these tools if you’re based in the US and you're over the age of 18.

Google is positioning this as a stepping stone for you to ultimately finesse any vibe-coded projects into a fully fledged app, so you can “graduate to a professional developer account.” However, to do that, you’d need to hit Google’s expected quality standards as well as pass safety reviews.
