The first thing you need to do to deploy the app is to have a Google Play Developer account. Afterward, you need to create an organization. To create those, follow this guide: https://developer.apple.com/support/app-account/#organization

Adding users to the Google Play Console

From the Google Play Console we will manage our organization. To add a user, we should go to ‘Users’ under ‘Users and Permissions’ and ‘Invite new users.’

We need to give ‘App permissions’ and ‘Account permissions’

• At least one developer in the team should have ‘Admin’ permissions because that will let them manage the configuration required in the app.

Generating an upload key

In order to distribute the app, it needs to be signed with a release key. To generate it, we can use this command:

Windows

Run from C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdkx.x.x_x\\bin, as administrator.

keytool -genkeypair -v -storetype PKCS12 -keystore my-upload-key.keystore -alias my-key-alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Mac

Navigate to that directory by using the command cd /your/jdk/path and use the keytool command with sudo permission, as shown below.

sudo keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-upload-key.keystore -alias my-key-alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

The name of the keystore and the alias can be changed. This command will ask for a password for the keystore and for the alias (you can use the same for both).
