PUblish android application to market - Individual developer

I have developed a android application which I want to publish to market. I have developed the app using Eclipse IDE I have gone through the publish related checklist and documents.

Here I have few doubts :

1. The certificate mentioned in the checklist, is it the same which I have used while exporting my app from Eclispe ?
2. I am a individual developer. Do I need to give the Company name ?
3. How much time it tak开发者_如何学Ces to activate once I publish the app ?

Any help is appreciated.

1. Yes. (I am assuming you followed the instructions at http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html)
2. You can give your name as the company name.
3. It is active immediately. :-) . There is no approval process or moderation.

I have recently published my sms scheduler app "In Time SMS". During the final days I face same state as of you now. So, I think, I may can provide some answers to your questions.

For your queries:

1. It is the same certificate that you used during exporting app in eclipse. Save your keystore elsewhere.

2. You do not need a company name. You can publish your app as individual.

3. Normally it takes 15min-2hrs depending upon the published version distribution in several servers of Google.
