I just paid for a pro account trying to use the Publish tool thinking that it would upload the app to google play, but it just emailed me the APK, this is the same thing that Download Option does. I am curious to know if there is a Difference between the Two.

Publish allows you to publish to Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.

Download just lets you use the app on your own device.
