Definitely. before uploading application to the Play Store, you should always generate signed APK.

It would be better if you do it with ProGuard, it will provide security to your application.

There are several other things to taken care of while generating signed apk.

  • Proguard
  • Enable Minify
  • Shrink Resources
  • String Localization
  • Turn off Logging and Debugging
  • Delete unused files
  • Change Version Name and Version Code

Test your application throughout after doing all these things, there are chances that some things might not work after enabling Proguard and shrink resources. So its better to solve them and build apk again.

Yes it's mandatory to resign the APK whenever you want to regenerate the app, otherwise the application will not be updated if you are using Google Play
