Publishing & Deployment

Tools for deploying apps, promoting releases, and managing rollouts.

Tracks

The Play Store uses four release tracks:

Track	Purpose
`internal`	Internal testing (up to 100 testers)
`alpha`	Closed testing
`beta`	Open testing
`production`	Public release

Releases typically flow: internal → alpha → beta → production

deploy_app

Deploy an APK or AAB file to a Play Store track.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`package_name`	string	Yes	—	App package name (e.g., `com.example.myapp`)
`track`	string	Yes	—	Release track: `internal`, `alpha`, `beta`, `production`
`file_path`	string	Yes	—	Absolute path to APK or AAB file
`release_notes`	string	No	`null`	Release notes for this version
`release_notes_language`	string	No	`en-US`	Language code for release notes
`rollout_percentage`	float	No	`100.0`	Rollout percentage (0–100)

deploy_app(
    package_name="com.example.myapp",
    track="internal",
    file_path="/path/to/app-release.aab",
    release_notes="Bug fixes and performance improvements",
    rollout_percentage=100.0
)

Staged Rollout

Set rollout_percentage to less than 100 for a staged rollout. Use update_rollout to increase later.

deploy_app(
    package_name="com.example.myapp",
    track="production",
    file_path="/path/to/app-release.aab",
    rollout_percentage=10.0
