CI ⚙️

This template is using GitHub Actions as CI. You don't need to setup any external service and you should have a running CI once you start using this template.

There are currently the following workflows available:

• CI - Will be triggered on every new PR or every new commit pushed to the master branch.

Release

Generating new keystores

Generating debug keystore

keytool -genkeypair -dname "cn=First Last Name, ou=Mobile, o=My Company, c=US" -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keystore release/app-debug.jks -storepass android -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keysize 2048 -validity 9999

Generating release keystore

keytool -genkeypair -dname "cn=First Last Name, ou=Mobile, o=My Company, c=US" -alias release -keypass <STRONG PASSWORD GOES HERE> -keystore release/app-release.jks -storepass <STRONG PASSWORD GOES HERE> -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keysize 2048 -validity 9999

Add the release keystore and the encrypt secret passwords to the GitHub Actions secrets as RELEASE_KEYSTORE_PWD and ENCRYPT_KEY.

Publishing on the Play Store

Prerequisites

To publish your app on the Play Store you need to create a service account with access to the Play Developer API and generate a new play-account.gpg file. You can find instructions on how to generate a new service account here. Once you have the JSON key, place it in release/play-account.json.

Managing Play Store metadata

Gradle Play Publisher (GPP) can do anything from building, uploading, and then promoting your App Bundle or APK to publishing app listings and other metadata. Have a look at the folder app/src/main/play and the official GPP documentation to learn more about managing Play Store metadata.

Publishing

Once everything is properly configured, you can run the release.yml workflow to create a new release and upload the bundle to the Play Store.

Enabling Firebase Crashlytics

The first step is to register your new app with Firebase (don't forget to add both release and debug packages to the same Firebase project). After that, you should put the google-services.json, containing both release and debug applications, inside the app/ directory. Now you have to Enable Crashlytics in the Firebase console and, finally, open the Debug menu and trigger a crash using the Force Crash button.

Encrypting your secrets

Once you have these 3 files in the following paths:

• release/app-release.jks
• release/play-account.json
• app/google-services.json

you can use the release/encrypt-secrets.sh to safely encrypt them (it's recommended to use a very strong passphrase).
