Steps to publish my app on playstore from scratch

I made an app on google maps. Added API key in my project that I made from google developer console. Can anybody please guide me how to upload apk on playstore? I am asking because I am putting it first time on play store and I should not miss any steps. And since it is related to google maps might be I need to do some extra steps.

I tried to start this using file< export and then three options come. One of which is location with browse button. Which location is to be selected?

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="MY API KEY" />

So please gyus help me in this.

Solution

    1. export a signed version of your apk by right click on project -> android tool -> signed apk-> follow the procedure

    2. save the key store in some secure place, cause its needed for update your application second time.

    3. take some screen shoots of your application to publish on play store.

    3.create a account on google and upload will take some hours to publish.
