Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that. Here's a simplified guide to publishing your Android app on the Google Play Store:

1. **Create a Google Play Developer Account**: If you haven't already, create a Google Play Developer Account. You'll need to provide your personal and business information, payment details, and agree to the Terms of Service.

2. **Configure Your App**: In Android Studio, click on "File" > "Project Properties" > "Signing". Here, configure your application signing by providing your alias name, signature type, keystore, and password.

3. **Create a Release Build**: In Android Studio, click on "Run" > "Release". After the build is done, go to the "app" folder in your project directory, and then to the "outputs" folder. There, you'll find the ".apk" file.

4. **Enroll the App with Google Play Store**: Go to your Google Play Developer Console and click on "APPS" > "Create Application". This will guide you through the process of enrolling the app.

5. **Upload Your App**: After filling out all the details, click on "ALLOW". Then, drag and drop the ".apk" file from your local machine to upload it.

6. **Set App Store Listing**: Now, set the app store listing. It's the placeholder for your application on the Google Play. You'll have to put screenshots, descriptions, and other updates.

7. **Publish**: Press on the "Publish". Once you begin to publish the application, the review team for the Google Play looks at the application.

It is significant to remember that Google Play will review your app before posting. It's a good idea to prepare your app in advance of publishing to make sure everything is in working order. Do not forget to always respect Google Play's terms and policies. If you have even the slightest uncertainty, Google Play's developer assistance team is always there.

To upload an app that you've written on Android Studio to the Google Play Store, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. **Prepare your app for release:** Before you distribute your app, you need to ensure that it is ready for release. This includes testing it thoroughly, configuring the app for release mode, and setting the application version.

2. **Sign your app:** Android requires that all apps be digitally signed with a certificate before they can be installed. You can sign your app in Android Studio by using the Generate Signed Bundle / APK option in the Build menu.

3. **Optimize your app:** Use the Android Profiler and other tools to optimize your app's performance and resource usage.

4. **Create a Google Play Developer account:** You'll need a Google Play Developer account to publish apps on Google Play Store. There's a one-time $25 registration fee charged for a Google Play Developer account.

5. **Create a Google Play Console account:** Once you have a developer account, you can use the Google Play Console to publish and distribute your app.

6. **Create an app on Google Play Console:** Click on "Create Application" and fill in the details of your app.

7. **Prepare Store Listing:** This includes details like your app's title, description, category, contact details, etc. You'll also need to upload screenshots of your app, a high-res icon, and a feature graphic.

8. **Set Content Rating:** Fill out a questionnaire about your app to receive a content rating. Google Play uses this to help parents identify suitable content for their children.

9. **Set up Pricing and Distribution:** Decide whether your app will be free or paid, and select the countries where it will be distributed.

10. **Release your app:** You can choose to release your app with a production, open testing, or closed testing release. Each release type has a different purpose and is suited to a specific stage of your app's lifecycle.

Remember, it may take several hours for your app to be published on Google Play Store after you submit it. Once it's live, you can promote your app to reach a wider audience.
