App Store setup

This project supports Android and iOS. Use this page to deploy your app to both the Google Play and Apple App Store.

Google Play store

Create apps

To create your Android apps, you'll first need to create or log into an existing developer account in the Google Play Console. Under the Users and permissions tab, invite new users and grant appropriate permissions for your team. By default, you should generate a developer and production app for Android. If you created additional flavors when generating your project from mason, create corresponding apps for each flavor.

Configure app information

Under the Store presence dropdown, select Main store listing to configure your app information. Populate the required fields under the Store settings menu as well. If you plan to offer a subscription package to your news app, set up the subscription product under the Products dropdown in the Subscriptions menu item.

Apple App store

Create apps

To create your iOS apps, you'll first need to create or log into an existing developer account in the Apple Developer Program. Log into your App Store Connect account and select Users and Access to grant appropriate permissions to your team. Under Apps, create a developer and production app for your new project. If you created additional flavors when generating your project from mason, create corresponding apps for each flavor.

Configure app information

Get started by populating the fields under the App Information menu for your app. Configure the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (EULA) in the App Privacy --> Privacy Policy section. Create the first release of your app to enable setting up subscriptions, which is done later in the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions menus. For more information about in-app purchases and subscriptions, check out In-app purchase.
