### Grow → Testing → Internal testing (recommended first)

2. Upload: `bin/ZERO-ONE-0.1.1-android-release.aab`
3. Release name: `0.1.1 (3)`
4. Release notes (en-US):

```
First Play build of ZERO ONE Mobile.
OpenZero, ZeroThink, ZMail and CallChat in one private shell.
Install tips and help inside the app.
```

5. Save → Review → Start rollout to **Internal testing**
6. Add yourself as tester (email list) → opt-in link

### Production (after internal test works)
Promote the same release to Production when ready.

## 3) Developer verification (deadline Sep 30, 2026)

Google emailed you: register apps and signing keys before **30 Sep 2026**.

In Console → **Settings / Developer account → Developer verification** (wording may vary):
- Confirm identity / organization (QUANTUMENCRYPTION1 LTD if company account)
- Register package `org.talktoai.zeroone`
- Register upload key SHA-256 from `UPLOAD_KEY.txt`

## 4) Optional: API upload next time

1. Cloud Console → create service account → JSON key  
2. Play Console → Users and permissions → invite service account → **Release to production / testing** + **View app info**  
3. Save JSON as `~/.zero-one-secrets/play-service-account.json`  
4. Run:

```powershell
cd ZERO-ONE-Mobile
node scripts/play-upload.mjs --aab store/play-console-kit/bin/ZERO-ONE-0.1.1-android-release.aab --track internal
```

Until that JSON exists on this PC, uploads must use the Console UI (this kit is ready for drag-and-drop).
