Introduction

This repository contains GitHub Actions workflows for building and releasing Android applications written in Kotlin. The main workflow, defined in app-build.yml, automates the building, signing, and releasing of the application.

Workflow: Android Build and Release

Overview

The Android Build and Release workflow triggers on every push to the master branch. It performs the following main tasks:

• Sets up a Java and Android environment.
• Builds the release version of the Android application.
• Signs the APK.
• Publishes the APK as a release.

Configuration

This workflow requires you to provide the following secrets in the repository settings:

• SIGNING_KEY: Base64 encoded content of the Android signing key store file (*.jks).
• ALIAS: Alias of the key within the key store.
• KEY_STORE_PASSWORD: The password for the key store file.
• KEY_PASSWORD: The password for the key.

2. Ensure all required secrets are configured in your GitHub repository.
3. Push changes to the master branch.
4. The workflow will run automatically, building, signing, and releaseing your application.
