Android Question How and where to upload a new APK

[wdegler]

I have several apps already published but this time, I have a problem I have not had before:
I am trying to submit a new app for publication.
I have already filled in all of the information required to submit an app that can be done before the APK is uploaded.
After much time and effort expended, I see no button to click or link to take to actually upload the APK.
Where? How? What am I missing that seems so obvious to everyone else.
Help!

can you provide a screenshoot showing the whole page ?

 

[wdegler]

I am trying to upload an APK. Why are you requesting one of the screenshots?
How can I upload an APK.?
The site(s) where I provide information about the new app don't show the procedure to upload the APK.

Production - Create Release

 

[wdegler]

Thank you, Erel, for your reply.
I was able to take the path to "Create Release" helped by your reply. (see attachment).
Where do I go from here to upload my APK?

 

[sorex]

you're in the instant app releases menus. B4A doesn't create these (yet).

you need to go to the regular "App releases" menu.

I finally found a path to the point where I can drop the APK file.
When I attempt that, however, I get an error message (attached).
Signing and package naming is now a mystery to me. I think earlier versions of B4A had menu items for that.
How can I set these and then, upload my APK?

You should never upload an app to the playstore with the standard packagename!
This is a big mistake.

1ST rule when you start a Project:
- Adapt the packagename to be a unique packagename. com.wdegler.something for ex.

 

[wdegler]

I understand that but I need to know HOW to change the package name, perhaps, the signing as well.
In early versions of B4A, it was clear: menu items pointed to these; I used com.wdd.something.
Please bear with me ... I am almost there!

but I need to know HOW to change the package name, perhaps, the signing as well.

I suggest to read the beginners guide.

Project->Build configurations Ctrl-B

the signing as well

Tools->Private Sign Key

 

[wdegler]

Thank you for your response. I will (re) that as you suggested. The problem may be different than I think.
Please see the attachment which may suggest an immediate solution.

 

[DonManfred]

B4A does not support Android App Bundle.
You can just skip that. It will not prevent you from uploading a app.

Additionally: The bottom Message is CLEAR!
You DID NOT follow my suggestion to change the Packagename even if you asked how. You are still using b4a.example.

This is my last post in this thread. Good luck!

I am almost sure that have not yet read any of the the B4X Documentation Booklets, especially the B4X Getting started Booklet!
Look at page 18 and 19 .
