This is a guest post from Simon Grimm, Ionic Developer Expert and educator at the Ionic Academy<\/a>, an online school with 70+ video courses focused entirely on building awesome mobile apps with Ionic!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You just built your first Ionic App<\/a> and want to show it to the world, but you have no idea how to submit it to the Store? Then you have come to the right place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, you will learn all the steps required to go from an Ionic app to a released Android app. You don\u2019t need to have any previous experience with building native mobile apps to follow along. All you need is basic knowledge of how to build modern web applications!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is Capacitor?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Capacitor<\/a> is a native runtime that gives modern web application access to native APIs such as Camera, File System, Notifications, Network, GPS, and more using JavaScript. In a nutshell, Ionic is for building UIs, and Capacitor makes it possible to build and run your app on a native device. It comes with a very slim API, so a lot of the build and deploy process we cover is actually just using the native iOS and Android tools!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
