How to Download Your APK

Building Your Android App

Swiftspeed can build a signed Android APK (for direct installation) and AAB (for Google Play Store upload) for your app.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Go to Publish in the editor sidebar
2. Navigate to the Build & Download section
3. Click "Build APK"
4. Wait for the build to complete (typically under 2 minutes)
5. Once complete, download links for both APK and AAB will appear

APK vs AAB

• APK — Android Package file. Can be installed directly on any Android device for testing. Great for sharing with testers.
• AAB — Android App Bundle. Required by Google Play Store for publishing. Google generates optimized APKs from the AAB for each device.

Keystore

Your app is signed with a keystore certificate. Swiftspeed automatically generates and manages your keystore. The same keystore is used for every build, ensuring app update continuity.

Testing Your APK

1. Download the APK to your Android device
2. If prompted, enable "Install from unknown sources" in your device settings
3. Open the APK file to install
4. Test all features before publishing to the store

Build Requirements

• At least one feature must be added to your app
• An app icon must be set
• Your app must have a name
