I'd also recommend contacting your local tax office for advice. I recently contacted HMRC (UK body responsible for tax) on a similar matter and they were a great (well, not _great_, but somewhat useful) help for clearing up some of the details that are not clear from their site.
You should still contact someone qualified regarding this, but I can feed back what I was told from a UK perspective. Technically, as soon as you have an app available for sale on a market you are trading and so much register as self employed. You do not need to register a business, but instead can register as a sole trader. This has implications for liability so is worth checking out the best option with an accountant &| lawyer. The immediate impact of registering as self-employed is that you will have to start filling out a tax return so that income tax can be collected and you should also start paying NI contributions. The latter can be avoided for low volume sales by applying for a small earnings exemption on Class 2 NI.
