The customization guide explains in all details how to create an app for your event.

If you want to create your own signed release builds, copy the gradle.properties.example file in the app folder and rename it to gradle.properties. This file contains the signing information which is used in the build process. Make sure to edit the file contents to point to your own keystore files.
