Deploy to Google Play using
fastlane
Building your app
fastlane
takes care of building your app by delegating to your existing Gradle build. Just add the following to your
Fastfile
:
lane :playstore do
gradle(
task: 'assemble',
build_type: 'Release'
)
end
Try running the lane with:
fastlane playstore
When that completes you should have the appropriate APK ready to go in the standard output directory. To get a list of all available parameters for the
gradle
action, run:
fastlane action gradle
Uploading your APK
To upload your binary to Google Play,
fastlane
uses a tool called
supply
. Because
supply
needs authentication information from Google, if you haven't yet done the
supply
setup steps
, please do those now!
With that done, simply add a call to
supply
to the lane you set up above:
lane :playstore do
gradle(
task: 'assemble',
build_type: 'Release'
)
upload_to_play_store # Uploads the APK built in the gradle step above and releases it to all production users
end
This will also:
- Upload app metadata from
fastlane/metadata/android
if you previously ran
fastlane supply init
- Upload expansion files (obbs) found under the same directory as your APK as long as:
- They are identified by type as
main
or
patch
by containing
main
or
patch
in their file names
- There is at most one of each type
- Upload screenshots from
fastlane/metadata/android
if you previously ran
screengrab
- Create a new production build
- Release the production build to all users
If you would like to capture and upload screenshots automatically as part of your deployment process, check out the
fastlane screenshots for Android
guide to get started!
To gradually roll out a new build you can use:
lane :playstore do
# ...
upload_to_play_store(
track: 'rollout',
rollout: '0.5'
)
end
To get a list of all available parameters for the
upload_to_play_store
action, run:
fastlane action upload_to_play_store
