Preface

Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to generate, version, and sign a Google Play build and how to create a Google Play Developer Console account and fill all the data that enables our application to be distributed on Google Play. It is now time to upload our beloved creation and start monetizing it! A mobile application is not something we can treat as fire-and-forget. We need to analyze how it is performing, get maximal feedback from the users, learn from all of the data, and iterate on our design and development again to fine-tune and optimize it.
