Creating a Production Release

Step 1: Building a Release Variant

Create a new file in the root directory to hold the secure keystore details:

cd application/
cp keystore.properties.template keystore.properties

This file will be ignored by Git. Set your keystore information in this file.

Under Build, click Select Build Variant.

In the Build Variants view which appears, change the Active Build Variant from debug to release.

Build the application normally to your phone. The keystore credentials will be verified and applied.

Step 2: Creating the Signed App

Under Build, click Generate Signed Bundle / APK.

Follow the instructions, inputting your keystore path and credentials, to create a signed app which can be uploaded to the app store.
