Businesses using Google Mobile Management and other Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) providers can publish Android apps customized for their workplace directly to their managed Google Play store, where their employees can easily access and install them. In some cases, these customers have set up multiple “organizations” within their domain (e.g. to serve different regions, for testing purposes, etc.), each of which needs access to the custom app. To meet this need, we recently made it possible to publish a single private app to up to 20 organizations. This has several advantages:

1. Developers can publish apps to domains other than their own (including developers with personal @gmail.com accounts).
2. Developers no longer need to be admins of the organizations they’re publishing to.
3. Businesses can more easily delegate app publishing to third-party developers.
4. Private app publishing remains secure, because the developer must have the target organization’s Organization ID and an admin must approve any apps targeted to their organization.
