Register your app

Create your app's record in the Google Play Console and understand the package name — the unique, permanent identifier.

Before configuring Releasely, your app must exist in the Google Play Console. That's also where the package name (com.yourcompany.yourapp) is set — your app's unique identifier, which Releasely reuses.

The package name is permanent

The package name uses reverse-DNS format. It is unique and permanent: once the app is published with this name, it can't be changed. Choose it carefully.
