# Play Store Publishing Roadmap
|
|
|
|
To publish the Flutter app to the Play Store, you need to transition from a "development" state to a "production-ready" state.
|
|
|
|
Data Protection blabla page!
|
|
|
|
## 1. What has been done
|
|
* **Application ID:** Changed to `de.sharedinbox.mua` (verified in `build.gradle.kts`, `MainActivity.kt`, and integration tests).
|
|
* **Build Logic:** `android/app/build.gradle.kts` now supports:
|
|
* **Local builds:** Using `key.properties` (ignored by git).
|
|
* **CI builds:** Using environment variables (`ANDROID_KEY_ALIAS`, `ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD`, `ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`).
|
|
* **Taskfile:** Added `task build-android-bundle` to generate the `.aab` file.
|
|
* **CI Workflow:** Created `.forgejo/workflows/release.yml` which triggers on merge to `main`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### A. Create the Keystore
|
|
Run the helper script I created for you:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./t.sh
|
|
```
|
|
Follow the prompts and use a strong password (24-32 chars).
|
|
|
|
### B. Configure Codeberg Secrets
|
|
Go to **Settings > Actions > Secrets** in your Codeberg repo and add:
|
|
1. **`ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64`**: The output of `base64 -w 0 android/app/upload-keystore.jks`.
|
|
2. **`ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`**: Your keystore password.
|
|
3. **`PLAY_STORE_CONFIG_JSON`**: The JSON key from your Google Play Service Account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### C. First Manual Upload
|
|
Google Play requires the **very first upload** to be done manually through the web console:
|
|
1. Generate your keystore using `./t.sh`.
|
|
2. Run the build locally using temporary environment variables:
|
|
```bash
|
|
export ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=your_password
|
|
nix develop --command task build-android-bundle
|
|
```
|
|
3. Upload the resulting `.aab` from `build/app/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab` to the Play Console (Internal Testing or Production track).
|
|
4. This "locks in" your signing key.
|
|
|
|
## 2. What you need to do next
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 3. Firebase Test Lab
|
|
Once you have the Service Account JSON, you can add a task to `Taskfile.yml` to run automated tests on real devices:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
test-lab:
|
|
desc: Run integration tests in Firebase Test Lab
|
|
cmds:
|
|
- gcloud firebase test android run \
|
|
--type instrumentation \
|
|
--app build/app/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk \
|
|
--test build/app/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/app-debug-androidTest.apk \
|
|
--device model=virtuall1,version=30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:** Complete step **A** (Keystore) and **B** (Secrets) first. Once the first manual upload is done, the CI will take over for all future merges to `main`.
