What should I put for "company domain" in Android Studio if I do not have a company?

Question

I'm beginning my first Android app. I want to make a simple photo sharing app. Will I need to create a company before publishing my app to Google Play? Is it possible to create, manage, own, and deal with issues without creating a company?

Solution

Your company domain will stay the same after publishing it, because if you change it, it will be known as a new app and the users won't receive the update. Technically, you won't need to create a company but ideally a company name is there so that it will be used in conjunction with the package ID. Make it unique because even if you do create a new app, it's better to stick with one company ID than another one.
