To send it to your friend either upload it to the Google Play Store for all to download or send him the .apk file to install!

Best of luck! :)

Hey Nathan.

You need to export your app to an apk file so you can send it to your friend. To do this hit build and hit 'Generate Signed APK'; once you have done that you will be able to send the app to your friend.
