A GitHub action to build & sign Android apps
License: MIT License
Hi! I'm Victor. I'm a software developer.
Hello,
I'm using your github action on a Ionic + Capacitor project. And that means the ./gradlew file is not in the root of my project, but inside an android sub-directory.
This leads to the following error (well, I think that's the cause...) :
Run cp android.jks $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/signing-key.jks
Run chmod +x ./gradlew
chmod: cannot access './gradlew': No such file or directory
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
Would it be possible to define another working directory in your action?
Hey Victor B!
I'm using your action, but since your last commits on main, it seems to be broken for me.
Without changing anything from version 94e3f19
I now get -Pandroid.injected.signing.store.file=/home/runner/work/<my-project-name>/<my-project-name>/signing-key.jks: No such file or directory on every build at step:
- shell: bash
working-directory: ${{ inputs.gradlew_dir }}
run: |
./gradlew build
./gradlew assembleRelease
....
Right now, the documentation doesn't make it very clear that the keystore parameter on the GitHub action should be the contents of the key file.
It is easy to get confused, and think that it is instead the path to the key file, encoded in base64.
I believe that it would be better to have two separate inputs:
keystore_b64: The current keystore input. The contents of the keystore file, in base64.keystore_file: A path to the keystore file. It should not be encoded in base64.The user should only provide one of the parameters, and it will get used to sign the APK.
Thanks for the update. Now I'm getting this error:
What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

It looks like there's still a little problem after the build finished

If you create a new project using Android Studio Hedgehog then the workflow fails because it's not happy with
id("com.android.application") version "8.2.0-alpha03" apply false in the plugins block of the main build.gradle.kts file
