    All of the information you need on publishing your app is available on the Google Play developer documentation. https://play.google.com/apps/publish/

    Copyrighting the app is a legal issue and you will need to contact someone with experience in this.

    There is also plenty of documentation on monitization - https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/earn/index.html

    Best of luck but from my experience the best way to make money with app development is to get someone else to pay you to make their app.

    What is the range or the average amount of money when it comes to someone paying you for you to make an application for them?

    How long is a piece of string, depends entirely on the scope of the project, the experience of the developer, can't really give an answer to that question.

    You should probably do some sort of computer course!

    Sorry. Couldn't resist.

    If you discover how to produce money making apps with no time, effort, dedication or money please do come back and share the secret.

    €0.00.

    No one is going to pay you to make an app because you don't know how to make apps.

    You're realistically not going to get rich publishing an app. Google the amount of apps that never even get a single download, it is a huge percentage.

    Better would be to publish a high quality open source app, that is well tested, uses best practices (architecture patterns, dependency injection, reactive streaming, etc) and shows you understand the lifecycle, frameworks and languages inside out.

    This will make getting a very well paid job for a top company much easier, working remotely or as a contractor, without having to worry about creating the next app to put bread on the table.
