Use this file to discover all available pages. 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 Prerequisites 7 requirements 1. Sign up for a Google Play Developer account A Google Play Developer account is required to submit your app to the Google Play Store. You can sign up for a Google Play Developer account on the [Google Play Console sign-up page](https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/). 2. Create an app on Google Play Console Create an app by clicking **Create app** in the [Google Play Console](https://play.google.com/apps/publish/). 3. Create a Google Service Account EAS requires you to upload and configure a Google Service Account Key to submit your Android app to the Google Play Store. You can create one with the [uploading a Google Service Account Key for Play Store submissions with EAS](https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/creating-google-service-account.md) guide. 4. Install EAS CLI and authenticate with your Expo account Install EAS CLI and login with your Expo account: ```sh npm install -g eas-cli && eas login ``` 5. Include a package name in app.json Include your app's package name in **app.json**: ```json { "android": { "package": "com.yourcompany.yourapp" } } ``` 6. Build a production app You'll need a production build ready for store submission. You can create one using [EAS Build](/build/introduction): ```sh eas build --platform android --profile production ``` Alternatively, you can build the app on your own computer with `eas build --platform android --profile production --local` or with Android Studio. 7. Upload your app manually at least once You have to upload your app manually at least once. This is a limitation of the Google Play Store API. Learn how with the [first submission of an Android app](https://expo.fyi/first-android-submission) guide. 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: ```sh eas submit --platform android ``` 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](/eas/json#android-specific-options-1). To speed up the submission process, you can use the `--auto-submit` flag to automatically submit a build after it's built: ```sh eas build --platform android --auto-submit ``` Learn more about the `--auto-submit` flag in the [automate submissions](/build/automate-submissions) guide. ## Submitting your app using CI/CD services Prerequisites 8 requirements 1. Sign up for a Google Play Developer account A Google Play Developer account is required to submit your app to the Google Play Store. You can sign up for a Google Play Developer account on the [Google Play Console sign-up page](https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/). 2.

You can create one with the [uploading a Google Service Account Key for Play Store submissions with EAS](https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/creating-google-service-account.md) guide. 4. Install EAS CLI and authenticate with your Expo account Install EAS CLI and login with your Expo account: ```sh npm install -g eas-cli && eas login ``` 5. Include a package name in app.json Include your app's package name in **app.json**: ```json { "android": { "package": "com.yourcompany.yourapp" } } ``` 6. Upload your Google Service Account key to EAS dashboard Then, you need to upload your Google Service Account key to EAS dashboard under project's credentials. - Go to your project's EAS dashboard, click **Credentials**, and under **Android**, click your app's **Application identifier**. - Under **Service Credentials**, click **Add a Google Service Account Key**. - Under **Change Google Service Account Key**, ensure **Upload new key** is selected and upload the downloaded JSON key. This will add the key to your project's credentials. 7. Build a production app You'll need a production build ready for store submission. You can create one using [EAS Build](/build/introduction): ```sh eas build --platform android --profile production ``` Alternatively, you can build the app on your own computer with `eas build --platform android --profile production --local` or with Android Studio. 8. Upload your app manually at least once You have to upload your app manually at least once. This is a limitation of the Google Play Store API. Learn how with the [first submission of an Android app](https://expo.fyi/first-android-submission) guide. 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](/eas/workflows/get-started) 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: ```yaml 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 needs: [build_android] type: submit params: profile: production 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: ```sh eas submit --platform android --profile production ``` This command requires a [personal access token](/accounts/programmatic-access#personal-access-tokens) 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.
