Prerequisites
Steps
1. Bump version
Bump version code and version name in fastlane/.env.prod
.
2. Launch the build process
This will build your app and upload it to the Google Play Console.
bundle exec fastlane android deploy --env=production
3. Make your app available for beta testing
Log in to the developer console with your project's account and select your app
Go to
Release Management/App releases
in the left panelClick on
Manage Beta
thenCreate release
and upload the APK generated from the build process. This file is located atandroid/app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk
Rollout the beta testing and share the download link to your PO
⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Once rolled out into production, it is not possible to directly roll back to APKs that have a lower version code. You'll have to bump the version code and rebuild your app, basically telling the Google Play console you have a new version of the app.
4. Update the Play Store assets
If the app's icon or one of its graphics changed, you have to update them separately from the APK:
On the left panel, go to
Store presence/Store listing
Upload your new graphics then submit your update
