Google Play and the App Store
Your app can be a real phone app too. GrowApps prepares everything for Google Play; the store account is yours. For the App Store, you or your developer publish the iOS project from your code export with your own Apple developer account.
Google Play (Android)
Press Export, then Google Play. This is part of the Standard plan. The page lists 6 steps. GrowApps does the ones marked with a sparkle; the rest happen on Google's site.
-
Create your Google Play developer account
A one time 25 dollar sign-up with Google, plus an ID check that takes a few hours to about 2 days. One account covers every app you publish. Press Open Play Console, or I have an account if you already do.
-
Let GrowApps write your store listing
Press Write my listing. GrowApps writes the name, the description and the rest.
-
Let GrowApps take the screenshots
Google needs at least 2 phone screenshots. Press Take screenshots and GrowApps photographs your app for you.
-
Let GrowApps write your privacy policy
Google asks every app for a privacy policy and data safety answers. Press Write my policy.
-
Build the signed app file
GrowApps builds the signed file Google asks for (an .aab file). Press Download .aab.
-
Upload it in Google Play Console
Go to play.google.com/console, create your app, upload the file, paste the listing and add the screenshots GrowApps made. Then send it for review.
Easier: let GrowApps do it. Say in the chat "publish my app on Google Play". GrowApps opens Play Console in its own browser, you sign in once, and it fills in the rest while you watch.
Just want to test on an Android phone? In Export, right under the Website, Google Play and App Store cards, press Build APK, then Download APK and open the file on your phone to install it.
App Store (iPhone)
One Flutter codebase for iOS, Android and the web. Publish to Google Play from GrowApps; for the App Store, publish with your own Apple developer account. GrowApps does not build the iPhone app file or upload it to the App Store. You or your developer publish it with your own Apple developer account, using the iOS project in your code export.
Press Export, then App Store, then Export the code. Send the zip to your developer: README_IOS.md inside it lists the steps, from opening the project in Xcode on a Mac to the upload. Export your code explains what is in the zip.
On iPhone without the App Store
Every app also runs on iPhone from its live link. It can sit on the home screen like an app: open your link in Safari, tap the Share button, and choose Add to Home Screen. The App Store page in Export shows the same steps.
