Our content rating has been completed. 76 00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:25.760 Now we want to go to target audience, and I'm going to say it's for 18 and over 77 00:04:25.780 --> 00:04:29.780 so that Google doesn't ask me for more explanations. 78 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:36.220 I will say that no, my application will not unintentionally appeal to children. 79 00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:39.100 Next and Save, and this is completed. 80 00:04:39.130 --> 00:04:42.740 Let's go back to dashboard and click on the news apps, 81 00:04:42.770 --> 00:04:46.420 and I'm going to say that no, my application is not a news app. 82 00:04:46.450 --> 00:04:49.840 Click on Save, go back to dashboard. 83 00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:53.400 Let's scroll down a little bit. 84 00:04:53.760 --> 00:04:58.520 Here we're going to see that there is a special questionnaire for COVID-19. 85 00:04:58.540 --> 00:04:59.860 Let's click on that. 86 00:04:59.890 --> 00:05:01.760 We're going to say that no, 87 00:05:01.780 --> 00:05:06.860 my application is not going to be tracing any COVID-19 status. 88 00:05:06.890 --> 00:05:11.840 I'm going to click on Save, go back to dashboard. 89 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.660 Then let's click on Data safety. 90 00:05:15.690 --> 00:05:19.180 Here, let's just click on Next to get started. 91 00:05:19.210 --> 00:05:23.700 We're not collecting any type of user data. 92 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.620 I'm going to click on Save. 93 00:05:27.650 --> 00:05:29.440 Let's go back to dashboard. 94 00:05:29.470 --> 00:05:35.460 Here, we're asking about the government applications. 95 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.860 No, we're not creating a government application. 96 00:05:38.890 --> 00:05:41.220 Click on No and save it. 97 00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:44.940 Let's go back and then financial features. 98 00:05:44.970 --> 00:05:51.640 I'm going to say that our application does none of this. 99 00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:54.440 Even though it does really do some 100 00:05:54.470 --> 00:05:59.360 of the financial stuff, but it's not really applicable. 101 00:05:59.390 --> 00:06:03.140 So I'm going to click on Save. 102 00:06:03.170 --> 00:06:05.280 Now all of these items are completed. 103 00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:09.460 Let's just go to Select an app category and provide contact details. 104 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.180 Here I'm going to click on Edit for the first app category section. 105 00:06:14.210 --> 00:06:22.200 I'm going to say that our app category is Lifestyle, and I'm going to click on Save. 106 00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:26.880 Then we're going to have to update the store listing contact details. 107 00:06:26.910 --> 00:06:30.040 I'm just going to fill in the only 108 00:06:30.070 --> 00:06:35.700 required field, which is the email address, and I'm going to click on Save. 109 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:36.120 Great. 110 00:06:36.150 --> 00:06:38.960 Now that that's done, our store settings is done. 111 00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:43.440 Let's go back to the dashboard and see what our next step is. 112 00:06:43.470 --> 00:06:46.420 This is set up your listing. 113 00:06:46.450 --> 00:06:47.600 Let's set it up. 114 00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:49.500 Our app name is already here. 115 00:06:49.530 --> 00:06:54.560 Short description is going to be the donation application is created. 116 00:06:54.590 --> 00:07:00.460 I'm going to copy this and I'm going to paste it multiple times 117 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.660 here because it doesn't really matter what I write here. 118 00:07:03.690 --> 00:07:05.440 Then here we have the graphics. 119 00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:08.520 If you need the graphics, just open up the resources folder. 120 00:07:08.540 --> 00:07:12.980 It should have a zip file there and this is what it's going to contain. 121 00:07:13.010 --> 00:07:16.520 I'm going to unzip this. 122 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.740 Let's do extract all. 123 00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:21.320 I'm going to go inside this folder 124 00:07:21.350 --> 00:07:25.300 and here you're going to see that we have a Play Store icon. 125 00:07:25.330 --> 00:07:27.300 I'm going to drop it here. 126 00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:29.000 Then we have the featured graphic. 127 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.240 This is something that I just downloaded for the sake of the size. 128 00:07:32.270 --> 00:07:35.040 It doesn't really suit our application, 129 00:07:35.070 --> 00:07:38.980 but it is confirming to the size that Google is requiring. 130 00:07:39.010 --> 00:07:41.420 I'm just going to upload it here. 131 00:07:41.450 --> 00:07:42.820 Let's scroll down. 132 00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:44.400 Here you have the phone screenshots 133 00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:47.480 that you can actually take directly from the simulator. 134 00:07:47.510 --> 00:07:52.220 I have already taken some, so I'm just going to upload those here. 135 00:07:52.250 --> 00:07:57.120 You need at least two screenshots, as I know. 136 00:07:57.150 --> 00:07:59.400 We have those two screenshots and our 137 00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:02.960 application is not available on tablet, so this is not important. 138 00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:06.080 We can just click on Save. And great. 139 00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:08.480 Now we are done with all of the items 140 00:08:08.510 --> 00:08:14.740 that we needed to fill out to be able to create a first release. 141 00:08:14.770 --> 00:08:19.320 And now what we want to do is follow the instructions given on the React Native 142 00:08:19.350 --> 00:08:22.900 documentation that is also going to be linked. 143 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:27.720 We're actually not going to be generating APK files because those are outdated, 144 00:08:27.750 --> 00:08:33.060 but we can still use some of the items that are given in the instructions here. 145 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.600 Now we're going to have to find where our JDK path is. 146 00:08:36.630 --> 00:08:44.580 To do that, just type here and be searching for environment variables. 147 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.420 Here you're going to see edit the system environment variables. 148 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.840 Click on that and this new window will pop 149 00:08:49.870 --> 00:08:52.480 up and then click on environment variables. 150 00:08:52.510 --> 00:08:55.860 Here you should be able to see where Java home is. 151 00:08:55.890 --> 00:09:01.360 That is where your path should be. 152 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.500 It's right here. 153 00:09:03.530 --> 00:09:09.060 I'm going to copy this and we don't need this window anymore. 154 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:14.300 What we're going to need is running our comment prompt as an administrator. 155 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.000 Let's just run it as an administrator. 156 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.000 Make sure to do that. 157 00:09:18.030 --> 00:09:20.340 Otherwise, you're going to have issues. 158 00:09:20.370 --> 00:09:25.940 Let's get out of this and let's go to this path that we copied. 159 00:09:25.970 --> 00:09:28.320 Just paste it here and then make sure you 160 00:09:28.350 --> 00:09:32.060 go to the bin folder that is given right here. 161 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.740 Copy this and paste it here. 162 00:09:35.770 --> 00:09:39.160 Now we're going to enter a Keystore password. 163 00:09:39.190 --> 00:09:42.520 I'm going to enter numbers 1-9. 164 00:09:42.550 --> 00:09:44.980 You can enter whatever you want. 165 00:09:45.010 --> 00:09:48.880 I'm going to say that my name is Nata and my last name is Vacheishvili. 166 00:09:48.910 --> 00:09:51.460 I'm not going to fill out the rest of the items. 167 00:09:51.490 --> 00:09:56.340 At the end, I'm going to confirm and say yes, everything is correct here. 168 00:09:56.370 --> 00:09:58.320 So my password was generated. 169 00:09:58.350 --> 00:10:03.020 Now, if I want to find this password file, which we're going to need, 170 00:10:03.050 --> 00:10:09.580 we're going to have to open up our desktop folder and let's follow this here. 171 00:10:09.610 --> 00:10:12.380 We see that it's in the C disk. 172 00:10:12.410 --> 00:10:15.140 Let's go to this PC and then C, 173 00:10:15.170 --> 00:10:20.240 and then let's go to Program files, and then we need to go to Microsoft. 174 00:10:20.270 --> 00:10:24.520 Here we're going to see our JDK and then bin folder. 175 00:10:24.550 --> 00:10:30.520 We should be able to find my Keystore, upload file here. 176 00:10:30.550 --> 00:10:33.700 It was just generated right now. 177 00:10:33.730 --> 00:10:39.300 I'm going to drag this and put it on my desktop because we're going to need it. 178 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.120 Yes, I will provide the administrator 179 00:10:42.150 --> 00:10:47.580 permission, so it will be copied to the desktop. 180 00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:53.360 Now that I have access to this on my desktop, we're going to use this file. 181 00:10:53.390 --> 00:10:59.320 What we're going to do is put this file inside Android app directory. 182 00:10:59.350 --> 00:11:02.500 Open up your editor. 183 00:11:02.530 --> 00:11:05.480 And then what we're going to do is open 184 00:11:05.510 --> 00:11:13.940 the desktop and copy this file and paste it inside Android app directory. 185 00:11:13.970 --> 00:11:17.820 So it's going to be right here. 186 00:11:17.850 --> 00:11:21.200 Then once we have the Keystore file, 187 00:11:21.230 --> 00:11:25.840 we can just go to the gradle.properties file. 188 00:11:25.870 --> 00:11:29.520 That should be inside Android. 189 00:11:29.550 --> 00:11:37.020 Then we have the gradle.properties and we're going to paste this code. 190 00:11:37.050 --> 00:11:40.660 Just copy it and paste it here. 191 00:11:40.690 --> 00:11:46.000 Our file is named my-upload-key.keystore. 192 00:11:46.030 --> 00:11:52.380 If you change it, please make sure to go here and change it here as well. 193 00:11:52.410 --> 00:11:56.060 My key alias is going to be the same. 194 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.280 Here, instead of this password, 195 00:11:58.310 --> 00:12:03.600 I'm going to write my password, which was numbers 1-9. 196 00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:05.540 Great, so I'm going to save this. 197 00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:07.320 Please make sure that you don't upload 198 00:12:07.350 --> 00:12:11.620 some things like this on GitHub because this is private information. 199 00:12:11.650 --> 00:12:13.860 I don't really care right now for this 200 00:12:13.890 --> 00:12:16.480 since you're not going to have my Keystore file. 201 00:12:16.510 --> 00:12:20.680 You're not going to be able to upload the application on my Google Play Store. 202 00:12:20.710 --> 00:12:22.440 But anyways, this is not something 203 00:12:22.470 --> 00:12:27.380 that you should put up on your GitHub, so make sure not to do that. 204 00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:28.960 Great, and now that we have this, 205 00:12:28.990 --> 00:12:33.720 we have some more things to change according to this documentation. 206 00:12:33.750 --> 00:12:38.260 Let's go to Android app and then build.gradle file. 207 00:12:38.290 --> 00:12:41.900 Here, let's find the release config. 208 00:12:41.930 --> 00:12:43.360 There is no release config. 209 00:12:43.390 --> 00:12:47.060 This is something that we're actually going to have to add ourselves. 210 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:51.000 We do have the debug right here, but for the release, 211 00:12:51.030 --> 00:12:55.840 we're going to copy this and we're going to paste it right here. 212 00:12:55.870 --> 00:13:04.340 We have all of the variables that we need already set up. 213 00:13:04.370 --> 00:13:06.680 Let's just save this. 214 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.760 Let me make sure I have no errors. 215 00:13:09.790 --> 00:13:11.200 It seems like I do. 216 00:13:11.230 --> 00:13:13.580 I need one more braces here. 217 00:13:13.610 --> 00:13:16.840 Let's save this again. Great. 218 00:13:16.870 --> 00:13:24.260 Now we need a new item here inside the release of the build types. 219 00:13:24.290 --> 00:13:28.000 We have this right now and it says, Caution in production 220 00:13:28.030 --> 00:13:30.820 you need to generate your own Keystore file. 221 00:13:30.850 --> 00:13:36.240 We are going to do this and we're going to delete this line 222 00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:40.800 and we're going to paste this new line here. 223 00:13:41.400 --> 00:13:41.800 Great. 224 00:13:41.830 --> 00:13:49.260 After this, we are ready to generate the new AAB file and release it. 225 00:13:49.290 --> 00:13:53.240 Honestly, I have already used this command and this is outdated, 226 00:13:53.270 --> 00:13:58.360 so let's just not follow this because it's going to disappoint us and it 227 00:13:58.390 --> 00:14:03.300 is going to generate only APK files which are outdated. 228 00:14:03.330 --> 00:14:04.900 We cannot use that. 229 00:14:04.930 --> 00:14:07.700 If you are interested to see how that went 230 00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:14.860 for me, I can show you that there is no bundle folder created here. 231 00:14:14.890 --> 00:14:18.000 So why don't you just follow me instead? 232 00:14:18.030 --> 00:14:21.100 I have already found out what we can do for this. 233 00:14:21.130 --> 00:14:31.340 So open up a new comment prompt and just go to your desktop and then donation app. 234 00:14:31.370 --> 00:14:35.780 And then we can go to the Android folder here. 235 00:14:35.810 --> 00:14:40.940 And then we can do gradlew clean to make sure that everything's starting 236 00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:44.300 fresh and we have no caches messing with us. 237 00:14:44.330 --> 00:14:51.040 And once you're done with that, we are going to use a command that is 238 00:14:51.070 --> 00:14:55.520 going to be very different from what's given on the React Native documentation. 239 00:14:55.550 --> 00:14:57.660 What I do want to say here, 240 00:14:57.690 --> 00:15:01.520 this is already done, is that every time you upload a build 241 00:15:01.550 --> 00:15:07.700 to Google Play Store, it needs to have unique version code and version name. 242 00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:09.360 Right now, we're uploading it 243 00:15:09.390 --> 00:15:13.340 for the first time, so version code is one and version name is one. 244 00:15:13.370 --> 00:15:17.920 If you forget to change it on the following times you're going to try 245 00:15:17.950 --> 00:15:22.200 to update your application, then you're going to face errors. 246 00:15:22.230 --> 00:15:26.960 So if you're trying it for the second time and for the third time and for the fourth 247 00:15:26.990 --> 00:15:30.760 time, please make sure that these numbers reflect it. 248 00:15:30.790 --> 00:15:33.480 Now, even if I write here 200 and version 249 00:15:33.510 --> 00:15:39.340 name 200 is going to work because I have literally no items uploaded. 250 00:15:39.370 --> 00:15:41.840 But the main point here is that version 251 00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:45.780 code has to be a number and it has to be unique. 252 00:15:45.810 --> 00:15:53.220 The version name is going to be string and it's going to have to be unique as well. 253 00:15:53.250 --> 00:15:55.880 I do recommend that you match the version 254 00:15:55.910 --> 00:16:00.900 code with the version name, but leave the version name as a string. 255 00:16:00.930 --> 00:16:03.960 Great. Now our application is clean. 256 00:16:03.990 --> 00:16:06.380 We have cleaned up all the caches. 257 00:16:06.410 --> 00:16:09.380 You can probably also see that there is no 258 00:16:09.410 --> 00:16:13.020 build folder here that I showed you previously. 259 00:16:13.050 --> 00:16:14.160 This is all set. 260 00:16:14.190 --> 00:16:19.580 I'm just going to save all of these items here that we set up together. 261 00:16:19.610 --> 00:16:29.580 Then what we want to do is in the same folder, run, gradlew bundleRelease. 262 00:16:29.610 --> 00:16:32.800 This should generate an AAB file. 263 00:16:32.830 --> 00:16:37.160 Just wait for this to be completed and come 264 00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:40.560 back to the video once you're done with this. 265 00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:42.880 Okay, great. This has been finished. 266 00:16:42.910 --> 00:16:47.680 If we go to the Build folder here and go to Outputs and we're going to see 267 00:16:47.710 --> 00:16:52.320 the bundle folder right now, you're going to see apprelease.aab file. 268 00:16:52.350 --> 00:16:56.140 We're going to grab that aab file and use it for our release. 269 00:16:56.170 --> 00:17:00.220 Just go to your play.google.com console 270 00:17:00.250 --> 00:17:07.760 and inside our newly set up application, let's go to the Internal testing. 271 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.330 Here we can create a new release. 272 00:17:10.360 --> 00:17:13.180 We can just click on here. 273 00:17:13.210 --> 00:17:16.290 Here I have to choose the signing key first. 274 00:17:16.320 --> 00:17:19.180 This is actually the first time I'm seeing this. 275 00:17:19.210 --> 00:17:22.040 I'm just going to click on Use Google-generated key, 276 00:17:22.070 --> 00:17:25.560 and I think it's generating something for me right now. 277 00:17:25.560 --> 00:17:26.500 Great. 278 00:17:26.530 --> 00:17:31.960 I'm going to try to upload this AAB file and see if it works. 279 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.560 Just do that or just click on Upload. 280 00:17:35.590 --> 00:17:40.680 I guess it was not working for me and wait for that to be completed. 281 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:41.560 Great. 282 00:17:41.560 --> 00:17:44.640 This has been uploaded and you're going to see that my version is number three 283 00:17:44.670 --> 00:17:51.050 right now and this is because I have tried this command several times 284 00:17:51.080 --> 00:17:56.720 and I had to upload the version code each time I tried to upload a new bundle. 285 00:17:56.750 --> 00:17:59.460 On the third try, everything worked out for me. 286 00:17:59.490 --> 00:18:02.700 Sometimes this happens, so this is totally fine with me. 287 00:18:02.730 --> 00:18:06.240 Now you can just click on next here and 288 00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:10.520 you might have some warnings which are not important. 289 00:18:10.550 --> 00:18:13.770 Errors are always something to pay attention to. 290 00:18:13.800 --> 00:18:17.800 This is not going to stop you from making 291 00:18:17.830 --> 00:18:20.770 this application available to your friends. 292 00:18:20.800 --> 00:18:23.000 Now, there might be some items here 293 00:18:23.030 --> 00:18:29.040 that are worth looking at, but we're going to ignore this for now and click on Save. 294 00:18:29.560 --> 00:18:35.570 This release is now available to the internal testers. 295 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:40.920 If I wanted to share this with my friends and they wanted to see the application, 296 00:18:40.950 --> 00:18:48.920 then we can always just go to the testers right here. 297 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.920 We can go here and we can copy this link 298 00:18:50.950 --> 00:18:53.960 and we can send it to your friends for them to join. 299 00:18:53.990 --> 00:18:57.920 Just make sure that their email address that they use for Google Play Store is 300 00:18:57.950 --> 00:19:01.600 included right here in your list and it's enabled. 301 00:19:01.630 --> 00:19:05.140 Otherwise, they're not going to be able to see the application. 302 00:19:05.170 --> 00:19:08.920 This is it on releasing your application. 303 00:19:08.950 --> 00:19:12.290 You can always release it later to production. 304 00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:17.600 There is some extra steps that you might need to do here and Google will check out 305 00:19:17.630 --> 00:19:21.770 your account and they will make sure that everything has been filled out 306 00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:26.980 correctly, whether it's privacy policy or user information. 307 00:19:27.010 --> 00:19:29.840 You might get some feedback from them. 308 00:19:29.850 --> 00:19:33.200 This is not an easy process to release an application to production. 309 00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:37.810 It has to adhere to Google Play Store's terms and conditions. 310 00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:41.810 Today, we're just going to be releasing it to the internal testing. 311 00:19:41.840 --> 00:19:46.040 But once you fill out all of the information, you can always promote 312 00:19:46.070 --> 00:19:49.770 this release to production or closed testing. 313 00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:51.560 This is it, my friends. 314 00:19:51.590 --> 00:19:53.900 You have completed the 315 00:19:53.930 --> 00:19:59.240 final lesson that taught you how to upload the applications to Google Play Store. 316 00:19:59.270 --> 00:20:00.940 Hope you enjoyed this course. 317 00:20:00.970 --> 00:20:05.900 Thank you so much for being on this exhilarating journey with me. 318 00:20:05.930 --> 00:20:09.920 Reach out if you have any questions or problems and have an amazing day.
