When you are ready to publish/update your app on the Google Play Store, download app (.apk) to your computer

Package the app (.apk file) by going to the "Export" menu on the Thunkable toolbar
Select "App (save .apk to my computer)." A pop-up box (seen below) should alert you that your download has begun. 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.

Publish your app to the Google Play Store

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.

WARNING: You can only have one unique keystore per account. If you import your keystore from Beta to the main Thunkable for Android platform, it will override that keystore. We highly recommend that you first download your keystore from both platforms and save it in a safe place. When you are ready to publish an app that was made on Thunkable beta, then upload the beta keystore. When you want to publish an app made on the Thunkable for Android main platform, then upload that corresponding keystore.

Export your keystore from Thunkable for Android (app.thunkable.com). Save it in a safe place.

Export your keystore from Thunkable for Android Beta (beta.thunkable.com). Save it in a safe place.
