[FIXED] Flutter and Android Studio Publishing

Issue

Ok I am starting to get into the Flutter programming. I am in the process of implementing Flutter in Android Studio.

My question is when publishing a Kotlin app you have to publish with a .aab file for uploading to Google Play.

My question is that when I get to the publishing aspect of Flutter. Is the publishing straight forward, or do I need to convert anything to the .aab file to upload to the Play Store?

Will Android Studio convert everything needed for it to be .aab file?

Solution

You can open the Android module of your Flutter app in Android Studio and then generate a signed bundle like for a native Android app.

1. Tools -> Flutter -> Open for Editing in Android Studio
2. Build -> Generate Signed Bundle / APK ...

The docs also describe how to do this manually via command line.
