Android release to Google Play

Takes one green commit to a signed Android App Bundle on a Google Play testing track, then to users by staged rollout, on the EAS lane (EAS Build + EAS Submit, the default) or the local lane (Gradle + the Play Developer API). Before anything reaches Google, the store-AAB gate reads the exact bundle and proves what users would get: the registered upload key, a fresh versionCode, the production package, target SDK 36, 16 KB pages, every permission accounted for, no test code and no template value. Everything that needs a person is asked for, never worked around. Verified on 2026-10-14 with Expo SDK 57 (React Native 0.86.3, targetSdk 36, AGP 8.12), eas-cli 24.10.0, aapt2 36.0.0, NDK r28.2 and JDK 17; the iOS twin is ios-release-testflight.
