Send your Android app to Google Play as a draft.

Connecting Google Play

You do this once for each app, and it takes about 2 minutes. You need a Google Play Console account, which Google charges a one-time fee for, and your app created in Play Console.

1. 01

   Set up your Android key

   If your app is new, one press creates it. If your app is already on Google Play, add the key you've used before.

2. 02

   Get your Push200 email

   On your app's page, press Get my Google Play email and copy it. It isn't a real inbox. It's a robot account just for this app, and it's the way Google lets a service upload for you.

3. 03

   Invite it in Play Console

   Paste the email on Play Console's invite page, choose your app, and tick only Release apps to testing tracks. Then send the invite.

4. 04

   Check it in Push200

   Press I've done this. Check it. We check it with Google straight away.

Only testing tracks

The only permission you give is to release to testing tracks. This means Push200 can never publish your app to the public. Your builds land in Play Console under Testing, then Internal testing, as a draft.

Your very first upload

Google requires the very first version of a new app to be uploaded by hand, once. Your app's page tells you if this applies. Press Build, download the .aab file from the build, and upload it in Play Console. After that, every build goes to Google Play by itself.

Checked before it's sent

• Your app is signed with your upload key and checked
• We read the store's latest build number and use the next one
• It's installed and opened on a virtual phone, with a screenshot and a crash check
