Anything can submit Android apps to Google Play in beta. You create the Play Console listing, give Anything access, and Anything builds and uploads the app for internal testing.
Android publishing is in beta. Your app is uploaded to Google Play’s internal testing track as a draft, so you can test it before sending it to Google for review.

​
Before you start

You’ll need:
  • A mobile app built in Anything
  • A Google Play Console developer account
  • Access to create apps and manage releases in that Play Console account
  • App name, icon, description, screenshots, and privacy details for your Play Store listing
If your app uses backend functions or a database, publish your web and backend changes before submitting to Google Play.

​
Submit to Google Play

1

Open Submit to Store

Click Publish in your mobile project, then choose Submit to Store.
2

Select Google Play

Choose Google Play. It appears with a beta badge while Android publishing is in beta.You can also select App Store at the same time if you want to submit to both stores.
3

Create your app listing

Anything shows the Android package name for your app. In Google Play Console, click Create App and paste that exact value into Package name.Package names cannot be changed after the app is published, so copy the value from Anything.
4

Invite Anything's service account

In Google Play Console, open Users and permissions and invite the service account email shown in Anything.Under Account permissions, enable Release apps to testing tracks. Then open App permissions, click Add app, and select the app listing you just created.You only need to invite the service account once.
5

Continue submission

Return to Anything and click Continue. Anything builds your Android app bundle and submits it to Google Play.

​
What happens next

Anything uploads an Android app bundle to Google Play’s Internal testing track. The release is created as a draft in Play Console. Check Play Console after a few minutes. Google may take time to process the build before it appears. Once it is ready, use Play Console to add testers, finish store requirements, and promote the release when you want to make it public.

​
Complete Google Play requirements

Google requires store and policy details before your app can go public. Finish these in Play Console:
  • App details and short description
  • Store listing description
  • App icon, feature graphic, and screenshots
  • Privacy policy
  • Data safety form
  • Content rating
  • Target audience
  • Testing track setup
  • Release notes
Anything handles the build and upload. Google Play Console is still where you manage review, testing, public release, and policy requirements.

​
Troubleshooting

Android publishing is in beta. If you don’t see Google Play in Submit to Store, email hello@anything.com and include your project URL.
Each Google Play app needs a unique package name. Make sure you are creating a new app listing with the package name shown in Anything. If you already published with a different package name, email hello@anything.com before continuing.
Check that the service account email from Anything has Release apps to testing tracks enabled under Account permissions, and that your app was added under App permissions.
Google Play can take a few minutes to process uploaded builds. Refresh Play Console and check the Internal testing track. If it still does not appear, try submitting again or email hello@anything.com with your project URL.
