Answer
Yes. Google Play accepts apps built from HTML, as long as they meet the same rules as any app: uploaded as an Android App Bundle (AAB), targeting a recent Android API level, signed with your upload key, with a privacy policy and Data safety form, and offering real app functionality rather than just mirroring a website.
The requirements
| Requirement | What it means for an HTML app |
|---|---|
| AAB format | Build an AAB, not an APK, for new apps |
| Target API level | Must meet Google's yearly minimum (see API levels) |
| App signing | You sign with an upload key; Play App Signing holds the app key |
| Privacy policy + Data safety | Declare what your pages and APIs collect |
| Minimum functionality | The app must be useful and app-like, not a thin website wrapper |
| Testing (new personal accounts) | Closed test with a minimum number of testers for a set period before production |
Common reasons HTML apps get rejected
- It is just a website in a frame with no added value
- Broken links, blank screens or placeholder content
- Content the developer does not own
- Missing or inaccurate Data safety answers
HTML2APK Pro builds the AAB and gives you your own signing key.
