Publishing to app stores requires developer tools and a developer account ($25 one-time fee for Google Play). If you just want to share your app, launch it as a web app instead.
Rocket generates production-ready Flutter code from your project. This guide walks you through taking that code to a live listing on the Google Play Store.You will need:
  • A Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time fee)
  • An Android App Bundle (.aab) built from your Rocket project
  • Store listing assets: app name, description, icon, and screenshots
Publishing to Google Play requires building your app using Flutter command-line tools from a computer. This process is not available in the Rocket mobile app.
