Have you built an amazing app in Google AI Studio and want to share it with the world as a real Android app? You’re in the right place. AI Studio APK converts your web apps into production-ready Android APK files — no Android development knowledge required.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to go from AI Studio to Android in minutes.
What is AI Studio APK?
AI Studio APK is a cloud-based platform that automates the entire process of converting React, Next.js, and Vite applications (including those from Google AI Studio) into Android APK files. We handle all the complex stuff — Android SDK, Gradle builds, APK signing — so you don’t have to.
What You’ll Need
- A Google AI Studio project (or any React/Next.js/Vite app)
- A GitHub account (optional but recommended)
- 5 minutes of your time
Step 1: Create Your Account
Getting started is simple:
- Go to aistudioapk.com
- Click “Get Started” and create your account
- You’ll be taken to your personal dashboard
Your dashboard shows your build history, account settings, and the main build interface.
Step 2: Prepare Your AI Studio Project
Before building, make sure your project is ready:
Option A: GitHub Repository (Recommended)
If your project is already on GitHub:
- Ensure your repo contains a working React/Vite app
- Make sure you have a
package.jsonwith build scripts - For private repos, you’ll need to connect your GitHub account (see Step 3)
Option B: ZIP Upload (No GitHub Required)
If you don’t use GitHub or prefer a simpler workflow:
- In Google AI Studio, click the download button (⬇️)
- Choose “Download as ZIP”
- Save the ZIP file to your computer
This ZIP file contains everything needed to build your APK.
Step 3: Connect GitHub (For Private Repos)
If you’re using a private GitHub repository, you’ll need to authorize access:
- On your dashboard, click “Connect GitHub”
- You’ll be redirected to GitHub to authorize our GitHub App
- Select which repositories to grant access to
- You’ll be redirected back to AI Studio APK
Note: Public repositories don’t require GitHub connection — you can just paste the repo URL.
Step 4: Build Your APK
Now for the magic moment — building your APK:
Using GitHub:
- Click “New Build”
- Paste your GitHub repository URL
- Or select from your connected repos
- Choose the branch (usually “main” or “master”)
Using ZIP Upload:
- Click “Upload ZIP”
- Drag and drop your ZIP file or click to browse
- Wait for upload to complete
Step 5: Customize Your App
Before building, you can customize several options:
| Setting | Description | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| App Name | The display name of your app | Yes |
| Package Name | Unique Android identifier (e.g., com.yourname.app) | No (auto-generated) |
| App Icon | PNG image, minimum 192x192px | No (default used) |
| Environment Variables | JSON object with API keys, config | No |
Environment Variables Example
If your app needs API keys (like Firebase, OpenAI, etc.), add them as JSON:
{
"REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
"REACT_APP_API_URL": "https://api.example.com"
}Step 6: Start the Build
Click “Build APK” and watch the magic happen! The build process typically takes 3-10 minutes depending on your project size.
You’ll see real-time logs showing:
- 📥 Cloning repository
- 📦 Installing dependencies
- 🔨 Building your web app
- ⚙️ Setting up Android project
- 🚀 Running Gradle build
- ✅ Signing APK
Step 7: Download and Install
Once the build completes:
- Click “Download APK”
- Transfer the APK to your Android device (Google Drive, USB, email)
- On your Android device, open the APK file
- Allow installation from unknown sources if prompted
- Install and enjoy your app!
What’s Next?
Now that you have your APK, you can:
- Test it — Make sure everything works as expected
- Share it — Send to friends, clients, or testers
- Debug it — Use our debug mode if you encounter issues
- Publish it — Submit to Google Play Store (your APK is already signed and ready!)
Tips for Success
- Test your web app first — Make sure it works in a browser before building
- Check your API keys — Ensure all environment variables are set correctly
- Use debug mode — Enable development builds to troubleshoot issues
- Start simple — Test with a basic app before building complex projects
- Read the logs — Build logs show exactly what’s happening
