Publishing to the Solana dApp Store

Shipping to the dApp Store splits into a one-time setup that mints an on-chain App NFT, and a per-release loop of build, sign, publish. The one-time half is where the irreversible decisions live, so get it right before the first release rather than after.

npm install -g @solana-mobile/dapp-store-cli@latest

Node 18 or newer. npx @solana-mobile/dapp-store-cli works too if you would rather not install globally.

Use 1.0.1 or newer. Earlier versions are deprecated and will not work.

Non-negotiable constraints

APK only. An .aab is rejected. Build with assembleRelease, never bundleRelease. This catches out anyone whose muscle memory comes from Google Play, where the bundle is the default.
