Question

I ve set the Manifest.xml to debbugable=false but it won't work.

Answer 1

You must change your Build variants to Release, before publishing to Play Store, You will also require to provide KeyStore credentials

Answer 2

As the Google says! Follow these steps

Step 1 Go to Build>Generate Signed APK>Next (module selected would be your module , most often called "app")

Step 2 Click on create new

Step 3 Basically, fill in the form with the required details. The confusing bit it is where it asks for a Key Store Path. Click on the icon on the right with the 3 dots ("..."), which will open up a navigator window asking you to navigate and select a .jks file.Navigate to a folder where you want your keystore file saved and then at the File Name box at the bottom of that window, simply enter a name of your liking and the OK button will be clickable now. What is happening is that the window isnt really asking you chose a .jks file but rather it wants you to give it the location and name that you want it to have.

Step 4 Click on Next and then select Release and Voila ! you are done.
