For Ionic 1 we have a guide on publishing the app to different app stores.
http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/publishing.html
Does Ionic 2 has different process to make the apk file ready for listing in app stores? Does Ionic 1 steps apply to Ionic 2 as well?
Does a normal cordova build uses AOT compilation?

Hi @Purusothaman. You can still use that guide, the steps provided are the same. The AOT compiler is an Angular related feature, so no need to worry about that when making a release build! Good luck.
Where you able to build the release apk?
Iām using rc0 and my ionic icons are not showing up.
Yes. I had no issues related to icons in the release app.
