Submit to the Google Play Store

Learn how to submit your app to the Google Play Store from your computer and CI/CD services.

This guide outlines how to submit your app to the Google Play Store from your computer or from a CI/CD service.

Submitting your app from your computer

{
  "android": {
    "package": "com.yourcompany.yourapp"
  }
}

Once you have completed all the prerequisites, you can start the submission process.

Run the following command to submit a build to the Google Play Store:

The command will lead you step by step through the process of submitting the app. You can configure the submission process by adding a submission profile in eas.json. Learn about all the options you can provide in the eas.json reference.

To speed up the submission process, you can use the --auto-submit flag to automatically submit a build after it's built:

Learn more about the --auto-submit flag in the automate submissions guide.

Submitting your app using CI/CD services

{
  "android": {
    "package": "com.yourcompany.yourapp"
  }
}

{
  "submit": {
    "production": {
      "android": {
        "serviceAccountKeyPath": "../path/to/api-xxx-yyy-zzz.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once you have completed all the prerequisites, you can set up a CI/CD pipeline to submit your app to the Google Play Store.

Use EAS Workflows CI/CD

You can use EAS Workflows to build and submit your app automatically.

1. Create a workflow file named .eas/workflows/submit-android.yml at the root of your project.

2. Inside submit-android.yml, you can use the following workflow to kick off a job that submits an Android app:

   .eas/workflows/submit-android.yml

   Copy

   on:
     push:
       branches: ['main']
   
   jobs:
     build_android:
       name: Build Android app
       type: build
       params:
         platform: android
         profile: production
   
     submit_android:
       name: Submit to Google Play Store
       type: submit
       params:
         platform: android
         build_id: ${{ needs.build_android.outputs.build_id }}
   

   The workflow above will build the Android app and then submit it to the Google Play Store.

Use other CI/CD services

You can use other CI/CD services to submit your app with EAS Submit, like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and more by running the following command:

This command requires a personal access token to authenticate with your Expo account. Once you have one, provide the EXPO_TOKEN environment variable in the CI/CD service, which will allow the eas submit command to run.
