Distribute your app through Google Play

To reach the broadest possible audience, distribute your Genero Mobile for Android (GMA) app through the Google Play marketplace.

Before you begin, you must have a Google Developer account. To sign up, visit https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/. To see the agreement, visit https://play.google.com/about/developer-distribution-agreement.html
Create an APK package that meets the requirements of Google Play, and load it to the Google Play Store.
  1. Create the APK for the app. The APK must meet specific requirements in order to upload to the Google Play Store. Set the environment variables dedicated to application signing. These environment variables must be defined in Genero Studio configuration settings, typically in the Android environment set:
    • KEYSTORE_PATH - Path to the key store
    • KEYSTORE_PW - Key store password
    • KEYSTORE_KEY_ALIAS - Entry name for the key in the key store
    • KEYSTORE_KEY_PW - Key password in the key store
    By default, these variables are set to use a dummy key (androiduserkey:android). Change to package with another key.
    Note: We recommend you use the default key store for development, in order to avoid distributing your company private signing key to all developers. Set up a separate secured environment for signing with your company key.
  2. Open the Google Play Developer Console and follow the process to add your app to the store.
