    The title said it, I have registered admob, i registered it as personal, it doesnt ask me for a company.

    But there are fields in BuildSetting that i must fill in, called PlayerSetting.bundle.Identifier. Can I randomly put in anything and get my app published ?

    Thanks.

    To have them on Google Play I think you have to.

    However, you can build the apk and put it on any Android device that has the developer options turned on.

    You do not need to have a legally registered company to deploy an app to Google Play.

    The only requirement to publish to the Play store is to register as a developer with Google and pay the one-time fee. See this page for all the details.

    The bundle identifier is a common thing with apps on both Android and iOS. Standard practice is to use reverse domain naming conventions for a domain you own to avoid potential name conflicts with other developers. So for example, if I'm releasing a game called Craptasia and I own the domain justinschneider.com, an appropriate bundle identifier would be com.justinschneider.craptasia. Don't randomly put something in, but it is your choice as to what content goes there. I do believe that if you try publishing something with a domain you clearly don't own or that is too generic, your app may be rejected.
