How do I get started as an Android developer? I know that I need to pay a fee, but I'm unsure about other things. I have done iOS development, so forgive me for making comparisons or assumptions based on the Apple App Store.
How do I distribute my apps?
Is there an app review process?
What do I gain by paying Google the $25.00 fee?
Does Google provide a dashboard where I can see statistics of my App downloads?
What percentage does Google take from my App sales?
What payment method does Android market use?
When does Google do pay-outs, or do I get paid immediately?
Is there a minimum pay-out threshold?
Thanks.
