Upload APKs to Google Play

This package offers a streamlined way to publish packages in the Google Play Store

Installation

npm install -g google-play-publisher

Play Store setup

First you have to create a Google Play API Access. To do that go to the Google Play Developer Console and then with the account owner go to Settings -> API access and create a Google Play Android Developer project.

After that follow the instructions to create a Service Account. When you click Create Client ID, choose Service Account. You will get a JSON file with a public key and the service email.

google-play-publisher \
  --auth api.json \
  --recent-changes "en-US=`cat changes.txt`" \
  /path/to/Package.apk

Other options

• --track Specify track for this release. Can be alpha, beta, production or rollout. Default: alpha

Using the API

var publisher = require('google-play-publisher')({
  client_email: '',
  private_key: '',
})

var changes = fs.readFileSync('changes.txt')
// track can be alpha, beta, production or rollout
publisher.upload('/path/to/apk', {
  track: 'beta', // default alpha
  recentChanges: {
    'en-US': changes
  },
}, function (err) {
})
