Feature Request: Allow specifying release name for Google play publishing in codemagic.yaml

[bibaswan-bhawal]

Currently there is no way to provided a name for a google play release, the name parameter is part of the edits api however there is no way to set that from the yaml file. Since no name is provided the play store uses the app version as the release name. Currently we have to publish as a draft and manually go change the name in the play console but it would be great if we can jsut provide the name in the release pipeline and not have to publish as a draft.

Hey @bibaswan-bhawal
I'm happy to share that this is now available in codemagic.yaml.

  publishing:
    google_play:
      credentials: ...
      release_name: custom release name!  # Optional text

Checkout the docs for more info.

That's great to hear! does this support variables similar to the credentials

    publishing:
      google_play:
        credentials: $GCLOUD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS_HOLDER
        release_name: $GOOGLE_APP_NAME_HOLDER
