“App” refers to any application distributed through a “store.” Apps can be registered and managed through the Developer Center.
Depending on the country or region of distribution, the app is serviced in “ONE store” or “Enjoy Store”.
ONE store: An Android application store servicing in countries such as “South Korea”, “United States”, etc.
Enjoy Store: An Android application store servicing in “Taiwan”.
To sell the app in a country or region outside of South Korea, please check the 'requirements' first.
To register a new app, go to “Register App” in the “APPS > Applications” menu.
App title: Enter a name that best represents the app’s characteristics.
Maximum of 50 characters allowed.
Trademarked names or names of existing apps cannot be used.
Setting a default language: Select the default language of the app.
Package name: Enter a unique ID for the application.
This must be the same as the actual package name that will be applied in the future. Changes cannot be made after registration.
When operating the same version code, it is recommended to separate the app and package names from other Android markets. Package names can be defined when creating an Android project, and cannot be duplicated.
How to check the package names of other Android stores, such as Google Play.
※ Precautions for use of android:authorities
An installation error may occur if the android:authorities value is identical to that of apps registered in other markets. Please be sure to separate the authorities value by package name.
Recently, there have been issues with apps that have applied FacebookContentProvider during installation due to the authorities value not being separated.
FacebookContentProvider does not require the authorities value when using the login and marketing functions. It is only required when using the sharing function, so please keep this in mind during development.

Binaries selected as APK can be changed to AAB, but binaries selected as AAB cannot be changed to APK.
Signing key: Select the signing key option for the binary. For more information on app signatures, click here.
ONE store manages and protects app signing keys - ONE store directly generates and stores signing keys. - Apps on sale with an existing APK cannot be updated if the signing key changes, so only newly created apps are used.
Use the same key as other apps in this developer account - If you have registered a signing key for another app, use the same signing key as that app. - Only the signing key of other apps in the account can be connected. Use it to link with other apps.
Export and upload keys to Java Keystore, export and upload keys (without using Java Keystore) - Register and use signing keys generated yourself. - Encrypt the generated signing key through the PEPK (Play Encrypt Private Key) tool to securely transfer it to ONE store and store it there.
Disable app signatures (register signed APKs without registering signing keys). - Managed directly by the developer without registering or generating keys. - If app signatures are not used, the signed APK must be registered. ※Can only be selected if the binary type is APK.
Different binaries can be provided for each supported terminal through “multi-binary.” - Only supported if the binary type is “APK” and the signing key option is “Disable app signature.” - Global Platform does not support “multi-binary.”
Add a new binary
Up to 2 GB of binary files that fit the binary type (APK/AAB) can be registered.
Register commercial binaries using the same signing key.
Viruses, package name duplication, signing key, version code, and more are checked. In the event there are any abnormalities, registration fails.
There are two ways to update the binary.
Click “find file” in “Add a new binary.”
Click “Update” next to the binary version in the binary list and select “update file.”
To register the AAB product, you need to set the minSdkVersion to 21 or higher.
Please review the 'Minimum requirements for Global Platform sales' before offering services on Global Platform.

If the targetSdkVersion of the app you are trying to install is low, a 'Google Play Protect' popup may appear depending on the Android OS.
In this case, you need to update the app by targeting targetSdkVersion 33 or higher. For detailed Android policies, please check 'here'.
If an app with a package name that has never been distributed in “Play Store” is distributed in “ONE store” a “Blocked by Play Protect” pop-up is displayed, and installation is blocked.
This occurs when the “Play Store” and the package name or signing key are built and sold differently. Please notify Google in advance to ensure installation is not blocked.
Link to notify Google : https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/2992033
If you are unable to install the app due to this issue, use the following guide for installation.
Run the “Play Store” app
Select the profile on the top right > Select “Play Protect” menu

Apps that target Android 11 (API level 30) that are currently only signed using APK Signature Scheme v1 must now also be signed using APK Signature Scheme v2 or higher. Users can't install or update apps that are only signed with APK Signature Scheme v1 on devices that run Android 11.
So, if your binary use ONEstore's SDK(Inapp v16, v17,v19, ALC), Please make sure to declare the following query on Androidmanifest.xml.
If an app developed with Android platform uses a ONEstore in app, the following tasks are required to use the Android 11 <queries>.
Java & Kotlin (Android Studio)
If TargetSDK is set to 16-29, [Queries] TAG is not required
If TargetSDK is set to 30, Add a [Queries] TAG in Android Manifest.
Unity
Less than 2018.4
[Queries] TAG is not required by setting TargetSDK to less than 30.
More than 2018.4 ~ Less than 2020.1
If TargetSDK is set to 16-29, [Queries] TAG is not required.
If TargetSDK is set to 30, raise the Gradle version of Unity Engine to 5.6.4 or later and add [Queries] TAG
After than 2020.1
If TargetSDK is set to 16-29, [Queries] TAG is not required
If TargetSDK is set to 30, Add a [Queries] TAG in Android Manifest [Queries].
Unreal
Set the Target SDK 16~29. (We'll let you know later.)
Other IDE environment
Set the Target SDK according to whether or not the Gradle version of the build environment is supported.
If the build environment does not support Gradle 5.6.4 : Set the between 16 and 29 targetSDK.
If the build environment does support Gradle 5.6.4 : Set the target SDK to 30, and add a [Queries] TAG in AndroidManifest.
An app with Target SDK set to 31 or higher (OS12) uses the intent filter. However, there are cases where it is not installed because the android:exported property is not explicitly declared.
Refer to the example code below and the behavior changes of Android OS 12 or higher.
