Aug 10, 2023 Read in 2 minutes In this post we take a look at how to publish a flutter app on Play Store Signing the app To publish on the Play Store, you need to give your app a digital signature. Use the following instructions to sign your app. Create an upload keystore On Mac/Linux, use the following command: keytool -genkey -v -keystore ~/upload-keystore.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload On Windows, use the following command: keytool -genkey -v -keystore %userprofile%\upload-keystore.jks -storetype JKS -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload This command stores the upload-keystore.jks file in your home directory. Reference the keystore from the app Create a file named [project]/android/key.properties that contains a reference to your keystore: storePassword= keyPassword= keyAlias=upload storeFile=<location of the key store file, such as /Users//upload-keystore.jks *Warning: Keep the key.properties file private; don’t check it into public source control. Configure signing in gradle Configure gradle to use your upload key when building your app in release mode by editing the [project]/android/app/build.gradle file. • Add the keystore information from your properties file before the android block: `` def keystoreProperties = new Properties() def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('key.properties') if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) { keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile)) }
android { ... }` This loads the key.properties file into the keystoreProperties object. • Find the buildTypes block: buildTypes { release { // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build. // Signing with the debug keys for now, // so flutter run --release works. signingConfig signingConfigs.debug } } And replace it with the following signing configuration info: signingConfigs { release { keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias'] keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword'] storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? file(keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword'] } } buildTypes { release { signingConfig signingConfigs.release } } Final:flutter build appbundle
