expo-adi-registration

An Expo config plugin that copies adi-registration.properties into the native Android assets directory for Google Play Console package ownership verification.

The Problem

Google Play Console requires a signed APK containing adi-registration.properties in the native Android assets directory. Expo's JavaScript asset bundling does not place files there automatically — this plugin does it for you.

Installation

npm install expo-adi-registration

Usage

You have two ways to use this plugin:

Option A — Pass the token directly in app.config.js (recommended)

export default {
  expo: {
    plugins: [
      ["expo-adi-registration", { "token": "YOUR_TOKEN_FROM_GOOGLE_PLAY_CONSOLE" }]
    ]
  }
}

Option B — Place the file in your assets/ folder

1. Create a file named adi-registration.properties inside your project's assets/ folder
2. Paste your token snippet from Google Play Console inside the file
3. Add the plugin to your app.config.js:

export default {
  expo: {
    plugins: [
      "expo-adi-registration"
    ]
  }
}

Build

After adding the plugin, build a release APK using EAS:

eas build -p android --profile preview

Then upload the generated .apk to Google Play Console to complete ownership verification.

How It Works

The plugin runs during the EAS build process and copies adi-registration.properties into:

android/app/src/main/assets/adi-registration.properties

This is the native Android assets path that Google Play Console checks when verifying package ownership.

Requirements

• Expo SDK 49 or higher
• EAS Build
