Some quick lines to get a PhoneGap project to the Google Play Store.

You have to be in your Android PhoneGap folder which will be located under platforms/android. This assumes you have the Android SDK properly installed.

Replace <YOURAPPNAME> with the name of your app.

ant release
keytool -genkey -v -keystore production-key.keystore -alias google-play-production-key -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore production-key.keystore bin/<YOURAPPNAME>.apk google-play-production-key
zipalign -v 4 bin/<YOURAPPNAME>-release-unsigned.apk bin/<YOURAPPNAME>-release.apk

That’s all!
