To upload the file:

  1. Click Prepare Android app, and wait while Preparing the Android app… shows.
  2. Click Download Google Play file to download the .aab file.
  3. In Play Console, open Internal testing, create a release with this file, and complete it.
  4. Return to the step in FlutterFlow. While the step is open, FlutterFlow looks for your app in Play Console.

Result: When FlutterFlow finds your app, the step shows App found. To return to Google Play’s steps, click Continue. Next, send a version to testers.

Why you upload it yourself

Google accepts an app’s first file only in Play Console, so you upload it there once. FlutterFlow sends every file after it.
