Build a real app and get it running on your own phone — my full course is 100% FREE: ➡️ https://kealy.studio?utm_source=playstore How to publish an Android app to the Google Play Store, start to finish. This is the full step-by-step walkthrough: taking a finished .aab file (Android App Bundle), setting up your Google Play developer account, filling out the Play Console listing, and submitting your app for review. I built this app with Claude Code and Expo, but from the .aab onwards the process is identical no matter what you built with — Flutter, Kotlin, React Native, or a no-code export. What's covered: - Google Play developer account setup (one-time $25 fee, vs Apple's $99/year) - Personal vs organization account — and the closed testing requirement that catches people out (12 testers, 14 days) - Uploading your Android App Bundle to Google Play Console - Store listing, content rating, data safety and privacy policy - Creating a production release and submitting for review
