I want to publish my application on the Android market. How long does it take for an Android developer account to be verified by Google. and what else should I do?
Google has a detailed guide on the steps you need to take to market your application:
Preparing to publish: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/preparing.html
Android Market Publication: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html
After paying for a developer account, it takes less than one day to get approval.
In my experience, when you have prepared everything, the time required to download apk and images, and paste the description text for 10 minutes.
After clicking the "Publish" button for the application, about 15 minutes will appear.
