Publish app in Google play store when migrating from expo to bare react native

Question

I had developed an app using Expo and published it in Google Play Store. It was running fine till now. But now I have a requirement to add a payment gateway. As of now, only stripe is available in expo. I wanted to add Razorpay Payment Gateway in the app.

So, I tried to eject the app and worked on it. But there were certain issues while building apk file. Then I tried to create a bare react native app from scratch and eventually I completed the work.

Now I want to publish the app in google app store.

If I create new keystore credential and upload it in Play store, will it work or I will have to use same keystore credentials that i used using expo.

Answer 1

You need to use the same keystore and applicationId. The versionCode of the new app needs to be higher than the existing versionCode.
