I think that it would be nice if we can get any kind of response/output in order to publish it in slack.

Can I distribute the uploaded artifact to PlayStore or AppStore via workflow?

Version 2.6.0 of the appcenter-cli package is causing internal server errors when attempting to upload the artefact where v2.5.4 is (still) running fine. Maybe we should pin the appcenter-cli version to v2.5.4 and await if e.g. v2.6.1 fixes this issue?

I've been calling the AppCenter CLI tool directly, and attempting to use the contents of ${{github.event.release.body}} to populate my release notes, however it appears that I need to do some pre-processing to convert the newlines/special characters to something more appropriate for use on the command line.

It doesn't look like this action does anything to help here, but I was thinking maybe it should?

Something simple to pre-process the incoming release notes text, or wrap the argument contents in a multiline argument directly would be super helpful.

Error: Command 'appcenter distribute release' requires a logged in user. Use the 'appcenter login' command to log in.

Nothing in command shows how to do this, thought I just needed the Token which is in my github secrets for repo.

Hi there! I´m using that action but everytime my run fails...it looks like it can´t find my .apk, also, it shows 2 URL´s with some messages:

https://api.appcenter.ms/v0.1/apps/Lucas.Azevedo.23/mediservice/distribution_groups/Collaborators/members

https://api.appcenter.ms/v0.1/apps/Lucas.Azevedo.23/mediservice/release_uploads

Also, I run the action with the debug flag and here´s what I´ve got:

Error: failed to create release upload for /github/workspace/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

I´ve tried all the paths that I can, but everytime the run fails...

Any idea how to help me with this issue?

Thank you all in advance.

I used to use app center to distribute my desktop application as ZIP file or Exe using Azure pipelines. will i be able to do the same with this Action ? or it only works for APK & ipa

Would be nice if this action had support for a Mac OS runner, although I have no idea how big the effort is.

I used this action in one of my workflows and ran into an error. I just forgot to add the token as github secret. However, the workflow finished successfully despite the error. I then went to App Center and searched for the release. After a while I checked the workflow logs. The error was displayed correctly (I was not logged in).

Error: Command 'appcenter distribute release' requires a logged in user. Use the 'appcenter login' command to log in.

But as I stated earlier the action finished without failing, which is not correct. The expected behaviour is that the action fails, resulting in a failing workflow.

Your example code in the readme points to a non-existing repository:
Instead of
uses: wzieba/[email protected]
it should be
uses: wzieba/[email protected]
Which then points to this source: https://api.github.com/repos/wzieba/AppCenter-Github-Action/tarball/v1.0.0

Otherwise I get this error in my action:

Download action repository 'wzieba/[email protected]'

two day ago I have successful upload apk to appcenter, but now when upload to app center doesn't work send error like this.

Hi!

Previously working fine scripts are failing now.
Looks like appcenter-cli 2.5.4 backend API is deprecated now and the appcenter-cli needs to be updated to the latest 2.7.3 version in the plugin.

Error: failed to create release upload for app/build/outputs/apk/beta/XMP2GO-beta-signed.apk`

I have not diagnosed this yet, but I did notice the CLI was upgraded but not released yet. My build failed today on both ios and android. Do we need this new CLI?

Error: failed to create release upload for release.ipa

When the apk name contains version name, we can't just hard code the apk path/ file. How would it be possible to pass the file name

Hello, I've been using your action for some time and all was working good, but today it stopped working. I get this error:
Error: Command distribute release --token *** --app App/Test --group Collaborators --file build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app.apk --release-notes is invalid

yml:

Any tips why it stopped working? Or how to get more info on the error

Seems like related with Docker: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/about-actions#types-of-actions

I propose to put on documentation some information about this constraint!

Can you guys update CLI version? It seems that it is supported in las version of the CLI

An error results when trying to upload to AppCenter
Command Failure at Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'app/build/outputs/apk/release/Nimble_build*-qa-release.apk'

I use asterisk to replace the number values in the name. Also, I have a flavor (qa)
so should it be app/build/outputs/apk/qa/release

even if I add the /qa in the path above, i get the same mo such file error

I forked your repo just to add this: --release-notes "$(git log -1 --pretty=format:%s)" to the entrypoint.sh. Think its worth including in your repo?

When distributing to multiple groups, the release number may not be correctly determined. The list of releases is not being sorted in reverse numerical order. This PR fixes that issue.
#16

This tool should also upload obfuscation mapping files if found.

The action has worked well for us for 2 years, but since yesterday our builds have been failing with the error:

Error: Command distribute release --token *** --app XXX --group XXX --file /github/workspace/androidApp/build/outputs/apk/develop/release/androidApp-develop-release-unsigned-signed.apk --release notes --silent --debug is invalid

We have not changed anything in the action configuration or in AppCenter and therefore cannot explain the error.

Maybe related to microsoft/appcenter-cli#2397?

For others, Google and probably my "future me":

If you create an group of testers on the organization level, you can see the following error, if you create the wrong kind of token

Error: Could not add group ... to release ...

Instead of creating an App API tokens (appcenter.ms > open application > open settings > App API tokens) you need to create an User API token.

To be honest: There is a slight hint in the token parmeter description already, but for security reasons I decided to create an App API token. For one workflow it worked but in some other workflow we distribute to some other project in MS App Center and there the very same step (matrix job) failed.
