Exporting to Google Play.

Hello guys, I'm having issues exporting to google play store. I already deployed the IOS version to the app store no problem. I'm sure this is user error as i'm not familiar with Androids IDE. I have both eclipse and android studio. Can someone please walk me thru to steps to exporting the .apk file to publish on Google play!

 

@taikratoke663 Have a look at the last thing on this link https://www.buildbox.com/guides/

 

Thanks for the link! But how do i create and upload an initial APK? I already inserted the License Key in BB before exporting. The file is on my desktop. But when i try to upload the app into the google dev console, i don't see a apk file?


Thanks so much!

 

@taikratoke663 Sorry, I have never went through the process of android so I can not help with anything more. But I am sure someone will finally answer your question, and if they don't I would recommend contacting support and see if they could help you.

Can you elaborate on this one "But when i try to upload the app into the google dev console, i don't see a apk file"?

BB does not generate apk file. You have to import BB generated code in to eclipse and then export APK file from that code, only then you will have the file which you can upload to Google Play.

 

How do i import my bb generated code into eclipse?


Thanks again

 

Right click on package exporter --> Import...

 

I think i'll just pass on android, i can't seem to figure out how you import my files into eclipse. IOS i just simply clicked the xcode project, i'm completely lost and kind irritated with the android submission process.


Thanks for the help.

 

I sure it's simple i just can't seem to import my project i exported from bb into eclipse.

 

@taikratoke follow my steps...
1) export from buildbox and save in a folder.
2) open eclipse and download ancofig the sdk android data into eclipse.
3) in eclipse make import Existing Android Code Into Workspace and select the project exported with buildbox.
4) properties and SELECT ANDROID LINT PREFERENCES AND IN YOUR RIGHT MSKE IGNORE ALL AND APPLY.
5)SELECT THE PROJECT IN ECLIPSE AND WITH THE RIGHT BUTTON OF MOUSE SELECT - ANDROID TOOL -EXPORT SIGNED APK, IF YOU HAVE A LICENZE JUST FIND IT AND OPEN IT WITH ELIPSE ...BUT YOU HAVE NOT A LICENZE DOR THE APK SO YOU HAVE TO CREATE A NEW ONE. AND ONCE YOU CREATED THE LICENZE SAVE IT AND CHOOSE THE FOLDER WHERE TO SAVE THE APK , DONT LOOSE YOUR LICENCE CAUSE YOU WILL NEED THE LICENCE ALL THE TIME YOU WILL UPDATE YOUR AP. DONT MIS OR DELETE THE PK LICENZE FILE.

 

watch this video, it may help

 

Hey guys thanks for the much needed help, I'm getting this error and it also wouldn't let me check the google play services box.

 

You need to create a new project in eclipse, then try Import BB project again

 

Same error

 

I think your bundle ID is messed up, use this exact format always to avoid weird errors on different platforms.

com.company.gamename

Use only lower case letter (no upper case, no numbers)... only use period to separate the segments.

 

Same issue

 

Hello, for BB 1.3.6 update API Google 23.
For BB 1.3.5 API 21.

Does this apply for using bb2 as well?


Thanks!

 

@taikratoke663
Yes.

 

Are you still having the issue importing?
