Launching Your App on Google Play

This chapter will introduce you to the Google Play console, release channels, and the entire release process. It covers creating a Google Play Developer account, setting up the store entry for our developed app, and creating a key store (including coverage of the importance of passwords and where to store files). We’ll also learn about app bundles and APK, looking at how to generate the app’s APK or AAB file. Later in the chapter, we’ll set up release paths, open beta, and closed alpha, and finally, we’ll upload our app to the store and download it on a device.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to create your own Google Play Developer account, prepare your signed APK or app bundle for publishing, and publish your first application on Google Play.
