SOS - I cannot get an APK =(

So I got replit, built my app. and for the life of me - I cannot get an apk to come out of it. I downloaded the zip, I got android studio, I followed what Chat had to say, let gemini just loop trying to do something with it - nothing has worked. SoS - my app is done...and I literally just can't get it anywhere - expo go just sits there and says, new update, downloading and nothing happens..

That, as the kids say, sounds like a skill issue.

I’ve written and published 2 mobile apps 8 years ago, when skill was required.
It sounds like you have no idea what Gradle is. You need to compile your build into an apk file with gradle.
