How do I submit a react-native android app to the playstore?

Question

I can't find this in any of the facebook documentation. Has anyone submitted an android app they built with react native yet?

Answer 1

I found this gist which outlines the process of creating a release APK file (credit to the author, marty-wang).

Once you have the release package, you should be able to upload the APK manually through the play store.

The most up to date way to handle RN builds for Android and iOS would be using Fastlane - the tooling abstracts building and uploading to both the Play store, as well as to the iOS App store/Testflight. Also allows for generation of screenshots and managing store metadata in your code base. Danial Banck has a great write up of how to do this that I personally have used myself and can highly recommend.
