Google has introduced new tools in the Google Play Store that allow users to upload and share their own vibe-coded apps within a private, secure section called "Your personal library." This feature, announced on Tuesday, is currently limited to users in the US who are over the age of 18. The private library enables individuals to share their creations across devices without needing a developer account, using their standard login.
For users in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, the rollout remains uncertain. Google has not provided a timeline for regional availability, leaving Middle Eastern users to wait for further updates. The feature is free to use, but local pricing details have not been disclosed.
Google positions this as a stepping stone for aspiring developers, allowing them to refine their projects before potentially graduating to a professional developer account. The company plans to enable sharing with a close circle of friends and family in the coming months, though specifics on how this will work are yet to be detailed.
Additional updates include enhancements to Google's AI-powered Ask Play feature, which can now compare two apps to recommend the best choice, and improved game discovery tools. The parental control service Play Family Link has also been upgraded to allow parents to specify their child's age range, ensuring age-appropriate app experiences.
