Google Play lets users run private "vibe-coded" apps built with Google AI Studio on Android

Google announced a new Google Play capability that lets users run privately created "vibe‑coded" apps on their Android devices using their standard Google account without publishing them to the public Play Store. The feature (initially available to US users 18+) ties into Google AI Studio and Play's existing policies, with planned options to share with trusted friends and later publish publicly; Google also unveiled AI-driven Play updates such as Game Finder, Ask Play comparisons, and deeper Gemini integration.
