Introduction
In the realm of software development, automation plays a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency and reducing manual errors. GitHub Actions, a versatile automation tool, empowers developers to automate various workflows, including continuous integration and deployment. This blog post delves into leveraging GitHub Actions to automate the process of uploading Android App Bundles (AAB) to the Indus App Store.
The Problem
Manual uploading of Android AAB files to the Indus App Store can be cumbersome and error-prone, involving multiple intricate steps such as creating releases and uploading files. This manual process is not only time-consuming but also prone to inconsistencies.
The Solution: GitHub Actions for Indus App Store
Introducing the Upload-Indus-AppStore GitHub Action available on the GitHub Marketplace. This action simplifies the upload process by automating the deployment of Android AAB files to the Indus App Store. Key parameters for this action include:
- apiKey: API Key for Indus App Store.
- aabFilePath: Path to the AAB file.
- packageName: Package Name of the App.
- signingKeyBase64: Base64 encoded signing key file (.jks).
- keyPassword, keystoreAlias, keystorePassword: Signing key details.
How It Works
The workflow involves defining a YAML file in your repository's .github/workflows directory, setting up triggers for pull requests or new tags, creating jobs for building and uploading AAB files, and utilizing the Upload-Indus-AppStore action with relevant parameters.
Benefits and Conclusion
By automating the upload process with GitHub Actions, developers can save time, ensure consistency, and enhance efficiency in deploying Android apps to the Indus App Store. This automation not only streamlines workflows but also fosters a more robust development environment.
