Add your app to the Play Store

Published: December 2, 2020

Trusted Web Activities are available in the Google Play Store. The process to list your app in the store is the same for Android and ChromeOS.

Once you've created your app bundle, the Play Console guides you through the required steps to list the app on the Play Store. In the Play Console documentation, you can find help to create your app listing, manage your apk files and other settings, as well as instructions for testing and safely releasing your app.

Restrict your application to Chromebooks

To restrict your application to Chromebooks only, add the --chromeosonly flag when initializing the application in Bubblewrap:

bubblewrap init --manifest="https://example.com/manifest.json" --chromeosonly

When building your application manually, without Bubblewrap, add a uses-feature flag to your Android manifest:

<uses-feature android:name="org.chromium.arc" android:required="true"/>

Set package version numbers

If your listing is shared with an Android app, the ChromeOS-only package version must be higher than the Android app package version. Consider setting up the ChromeOS bundle version with a much higher number than the Android version, so you don't have to update both versions with each release.
