Signing
To create a release build, signing must be configured. The following Gradle properties must be set:
ZCASH_RELEASE_KEYSTORE_PATH
ZCASH_RELEASE_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
ZCASH_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS
ZCASH_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS_PASSWORD
- Run
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease
to create a signed release APK, which can be tested and easily installed on an emulator or test device. Note that this APK cannot be deployed, because Google Play requires deployment in AAB format. APK, however, is easier to manage for manually creating a build for testing.
Note that although these are called "release" keys, they may actually be the "upload" key if Google Play Signing is being used.
Deployment
After signing is configured, it is possible to then configure deployment to Google Play.
Automated Deployment
Automated deployment to Google Play configured with the Gradle Play Publisher plugin. To perform a deployment:
- Configure a Google Cloud service API key with the correct permissions
- Configure Gradle properties
ZCASH_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_KEY_FILE_PATH
- Set to the path of the service key in JSON formatZCASH_GOOGLE_PLAY_DEPLOY_MODE
- Set todeploy
- Run the Gradle task
./gradlew :app:publishBundle
To generate a build with a correct version that can be deployed manually later:
- Configure a Google Cloud service API key with the correct permissions
- Configure Gradle properties
ZCASH_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_KEY_FILE_PATH
- Set to the path of the service key in JSON formatZCASH_GOOGLE_PLAY_DEPLOY_MODE
- Set tobuild
(this is the default value)
- Run the Gradle tasks
./gradlew :app:processReleaseVersionCodes :app:bundleRelease
Note that the above instructions are for repeat deployments. If you do not yet have an app listing, you'll need to create that manually.
Note that the artifacts can be manually saved from their output directory under the app/build directory
Manual Deployment
To manually deploy a build of the app
- Configure Gradle properties
ZCASH_VERSION_CODE
- Set to the integer version code of the app. A simple monotonically increasing number is recommended.1ZCASH_VERSION_NAME
- Set to a human-readable version number, such as 1.0.1.
- Run the Gradle task
./gradlew :app:bundleRelease
- Collect the build artifacts under
app/build
and manually deploy them through the Google Play web interface
