I have a client who would like me to publish his app on Google Play Store. He has given me the .apk, description, icons, and banners.
I am going to buy a developer account ($25) for him but before that I would like to ask you guys that as I didn't actually develop this app. I am only going to publish his app. Is it safe? What key points I should check?
Also, would I still need to have Android Studio JUST to publish an app to Google Play Store? Or the URL below would give me the opportunity to publish my app using website?
https://play.google.com/apps/publish
Please help!
Thank you!

Check the Google Play Store Developer Policy Center to see if it infringes any rules.

I would also consider asking to review the source code as well if your name or company is going to be associated with the product you publish.

So basically uploading an app that copyrights most of someone's legit coding and possibly licensing? Not a good approach.
If you are aware about the terms and conditions, you would be liable for cost and damages because technically it will be under your name if you go forward and if your profiting this commercially, that case would be serious should it be brought forward on complaint.
EDITED
If you doing this on his behalf, he should sign up for Developer account or allow you to put his information in. So that's the safe point. If you are saying it is his app.
