Google wants to host your personal vibe-coded apps in the Play Store
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Google is expanding AI-powered features in Play Store, including enhanced AI-driven app discovery and a new Game Finder with Gamer DNA. The piece also describes private hosting for vibe-coded apps created in AI Studio, enabling a private Play Store repository and easy distribution to a small group before potentially publishing publicly. The rollout begins in the US and select markets, with an onboarding path to publish to Google Play and keep private apps unreviewed by Google.
