Generate Android app

How to generate a ready-to-publish android app build

AppMySite enables you to create the .APK and .AAB file of your Android app build that can be directly submitted to Google Play for publishing. The AAB file is required for publishing on Google Play, while the APK file can be used for testing.

Step 1: Navigate to the Android build section

• Log in to your AppMySite account.

• Navigate to Download > Build Android App.

• You’ll be directed to the Android build configuration screen.

Step 2: Configure app identity

Customize your Android app’s identity settings. This section allows you to set or migrate your app’s package name and version details.

• Migrate my live app – If you are transferring an app from another platform, enable this toggle. Submit the following details:

  • Package name

  • Version name

  • Version code

  • Key alias

  • Key password

  • Keystore file (.jks)

  • Keystore password

Obtain this information from the developer or development platform you are migrating from.

• Customize my bundle identifiers – Enter your app’s package name, version name, and version code in reverse domain format (e.g., com.example.app).

Your package name must match the one in your Google Play Console for successful app submission.

Step 3: Configure app permissions

App permissions allow your app to request access to various device features such as the foreground location, background location, microphone, camera, location, contacts, and gallery.

• Turn on the toggles for the permissions required for your app’s functionality.

• Users will be prompted to grant these permissions when they launch the app.

• Enable only the necessary permissions to avoid unnecessary permission requests.

Google Play enforces strict policies on app permissions. Ensure that only the required permissions are enabled and provide clear justification in your Play Store listing.

Step 4: Enable advanced features in the build

Some features require additional configuration before your app build can be generated. Follow the guides linked on the build configuration screen to configure any advanced settings.

Step 5: Generate your Android app build

• Once all configurations are complete, click Build App to generate your APK and AAB files.

• The build process may take a few minutes.

• Once completed, the files will be available for download.

• Test the APK file on an Android device before submitting the AAB file to Google Play.

By following these steps, you can successfully generate an Android app build and prepare it for submission to the Google Play Store.

Test your Android app on a real device before publishing to ensure it functions correctly.
