Hey guys. So I am facing an issue with connecting Bubble Mobile to the Android store. It says there is no package name, but I used it for iOS and it went well, but with Android it is showing me an error. Check screenshots below, thanks.

Android is just stricter than iOS. Bubble can’t connect until Google Play actually has an app registered with that exact package name.
Right now, com.runalytics.app doesn’t exist in your Play Console, so Bubble throws the error. iOS doesn’t validate anything, which is why it went through.
Just create the app in Google Play Console first (even with a dummy AAB). Once the package name is registered there, Bubble will connect instantly.
Hi! Just creating the app is not enough.. you have to manually upload the .aab file that comes to you with a bubble email following the creation of a new build.. Have you already done this too? You will have to load it manually only the first time. You will see that if the credentials are correct you can later connect it to your bubble account and from the next time the build will be loaded automatically..
Got you. Since you already have the app on Google Play Console, what exactly do you need help with next, updating the existing build, fixing the issue, or connecting the verification flow inside the app?
how can i get .aab file ? what i need to do for that?
Once you have launched the build, (make sure before you have connected iOS and that it tells you that it is ok, and that you have everything ready for Google too but it seems that it is already the case in your case) click on the top right on deploy, then web and mobile. After about 20 minutes you will receive two emails. The first contains the file compiled for iOS, but you don’t need this because it ends up in Apple Store Connect automatically, and a second email that tells you that the android files are ready. Click download. That’s the aab file you need for google play.. if you need help, there’s both bubble bot and documentation as well as YouTube videos on this. Don’t worry, it’s harder to say than to do..
