Release checklist

Before the release

  • Weblate sync, fix lint issue if any (in a dedicated PR)
  • Check the update of the store descriptions (using Google Translate if necessary) to ensure that the changes are acceptable to be published to the stores.
  • While Weblate is locked, and after the PR from Weblate has been merged, handle all the TODOs in the main strings.xml file
  • Run the script ./tools/release/pushPlayStoreMetaData.sh. You can check in the GooglePlay console the Activity log to check the effect.
  • Ensure all the required PRs have been merged

Do the release

  • Run the script ./tools/release/releaseScript.sh and follow the steps.

Once tested and validated internally

  • Create a new open testing release on the GooglePlay console and upload the 4 signed Apks.
  • Check that the version codes are correct
  • Copy the fastlane change to the GooglePlay console in the section en-GB.
  • Push the open testing release to 100% of the users
  • Notify the F-Droid team here so that they can schedule the publication on F-Droid
  • The application is available to the PlayStore testers (live). Google can take between 1 hour and up to 7 days to approve the release.
  • The application is available to the F-Droid users.

Once open testing is live on PlayStore

  • Ping the Android public room and update its topic

Once Live on F-Droid

  • Update the Android public room topic

After at least 2 days (generally next Monday)

  • Check the rageshakes
  • Check the crash reports on the GooglePlay console
  • Check the Android Element room for any reported issues on the new version
  • If all is OK, promote the open testing release to production. Generally using a 100% roll out, but can be a smaller value depending on the release content.
  • The application is available to the PlayStore users (live). Google can take (again!) between 1 hour and up to 7 days to approve the release.

Once production is live on PlayStore

  • Ping the Android public room and update its topic
  • Add an entry in the internal diary

Android SDK2

The SDK2 and the sample app are released only when Element has been pushed to production.

  • On the SDK2 project, run the script ./tools/releaseScript.sh and follow the instructions.

Note: if the step ./gradlew closeAndReleaseRepository fails (for instance, several repositories are waiting to be handled), you have to close and release the repository manually. Do the following steps:

  • Connect to https://s01.oss.sonatype.org
  • Click on Staging Repositories and check the the files have been uploaded
  • Click on close
  • Wait (check Activity tab until step "Repository closed" is displayed)
  • Click on release. The staging repository will disappear
