Note: The other option (provide QR code for .apk) produces a scannable QR code that will download the app for two hours. You can share this code with others, but they have to use it within 2 hours of your generating it.
You can also download the apk directly from your apps home page by clicking on the download arrow next to any app project.
You can now go to Google Play Publishing Home and follow the steps to publish your app to Google Play. Make sure to edit your app version number.
