Script to increment build number fails

[MbuthiaWaKihara]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

React Native

Steps to reproduce

All the build steps work fine, but the publishing step fails. This is because the build number already exists.
I have a script to increment the build number. Here's the script:

LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER=$(google-play get-latest-build-number --package-name "$PACKAGE_NAME") echo "LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER: $LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER" if [ -z $LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER ]; then # fallback in case no build number was found from Google Play. # Alternatively, you canexit 1to fail the build # BUILD_NUMBER is a Codemagic built-in variable tracking the number # of times this workflow has been built UPDATED_BUILD_NUMBER=$BUILD_NUMBER else UPDATED_BUILD_NUMBER=$(($LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER + 1)) fi

The variable UPDATED_BUILD_NUMBER is assigned the value BUILD_NUMBER, because getting the latest build number fails.
I also see this in the logs:
google-play: error: argument --credentials: Provided value "********" is not valid

I am not sure why this happens because I have all the credentials set up fine, the build is also generated fine. What could I be missing?

Expected results

Correct latest build number value is fetched from PlayStore

Actual results

Fallback build number value is used

Build id (optional)

Hello @MbuthiaWaKihara,
Please can you confirm that the value of GCLOUD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS is in plain text and not base64 encoded? If you would like to encode the value, then you will need to decode it before the google-play get-latest-build-number step using

export GCLOUD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS=$(echo $GCLOUD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS | base64 --decode)

More details about this can also be found here

Adding GCLOUD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS as plain text fixed the issue. Thanks!
