Answer 1

There are a few steps to follow in order to generate the Android application file (.apk) from a meteor app:

1. meteor install-sdk android
2. Have the mobile-config.js file in your project root (mobile-config.js example)
3. meteor add-platform android
4. meteor build ~/your-output-dir --server=yourapp.meteor.com

Then you will have your .apk file in ~/your-output-dir/android/unaligned.apk

If you want to proceed and submit to Google Play Store, here are the steps to follow: https://guide.meteor.com/mobile.html#submitting-android

Hope this helps!
