From project files to a usable build in four steps.

Pocket APK brings the current build workflow together in one place, designed around working from an Android phone.

Connect GitHub

After email sign-in, Pocket APK Builder guides you directly through creating and connecting your own GitHub classic token.

Upload your project

Select a ZIP stored on your phone containing a supported Expo or Expo-based React Native project.

Choose the output

Create an APK for direct testing or an AAB bundle for Google Play submission.

Save the build

Once processing completes, save the finished Android build back to your phone.

Two useful outputs

Test directly. Prepare for Google Play.

APK and AAB files serve different purposes. Pocket APK lets you select the format that fits your next step.

Questions before testing

Frequently asked questions.

What does Pocket APK currently create?

It creates APK files for direct Android installation and testing, and AAB bundles for the Google Play submission workflow.

Do I currently need GitHub?

The verified workflow described for the current beta includes connecting GitHub before uploading the project ZIP.

Can I upload a normal HTML, CSS and JavaScript website?

Not directly. A normal website must first be wrapped or converted into an Expo project, for example by placing the web app inside an Expo WebView project with valid Expo configuration.

Does it support every Expo project?

No universal compatibility claim is being made. The correct wording is “supported Expo projects”, and beta testing will help establish the exact compatibility range.

Can I download Pocket APK from this page now?

Not yet. The website download and QR sections are clearly marked placeholders until the real beta APK URL is connected.

How are registrations and feedback sent?

The forms validate on your device and then open your email app with a prefilled message addressed to pocketapkbuilder@outlook.com. Nothing is silently submitted by the page; you review the draft and tap Send.

Can I attach a screenshot to an issue report?

Yes. Complete the feedback form first, then attach your screenshot manually after the email draft opens in Outlook or your chosen email app.
