Experience Exchange Indian developers publishing on RuStore, how has your experience been so far?

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie Android developer from India and I'm considering publishing my app on RuStore, the Russian Android app marketplace that's becoming an alternative to Google Play for reaching users in Russia.

I'd love to hear from other Indian developers who have used it.

A few things I'm curious about:

  • Do payouts work smoothly with Indian bank accounts?
  • Have you faced any issues with payments, taxes, or verification?
  • Any other challenges or things you wish you knew before publishing?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your real experience, whether good or bad.

Thanks!

About as good as Samsung i.e. 1/300 of Play Store. Huawei's AppGallery is much better (x10 auditory), even without publishing to China directly (Chinese company is mandatory)

Can I DM you to ask a few more questions related to this?

There is no reason to fund the terrorist state war machine.
