1	# Gradle Build for Google Play
2
3	Use this skill when you need to build an Android app before uploading to Play Store.
4
5	## Build Types
6
7	### App Bundle (AAB) - Recommended
8	App Bundles are required for new apps on Google Play:
9
10	```bash
11	./gradlew bundleRelease
12	```
13
14	Output: `app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab`
15
16	### APK - Legacy
17	For apps not using bundles:
18
19	```bash
20	./gradlew assembleRelease
21	```
22
23	Output: `app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk`
24
25	## Signing Configuration
26
27	### build.gradle (app level)
28	```groovy
29	android {
30	signingConfigs {
31	release {
32	storeFile file(System.getenv("KEYSTORE_FILE") ?: "release.keystore")
33	storePassword System.getenv("KEYSTORE_PASSWORD")
34	keyAlias System.getenv("KEY_ALIAS")
35	keyPassword System.getenv("KEY_PASSWORD")
36	}
37	}
38
39	buildTypes {
40	release {
41	signingConfig signingConfigs.release
42	minifyEnabled true
43	proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
44	}
45	}
46	}
47	```
48
49	### Environment Variables
50	```bash
51	export KEYSTORE_FILE=/path/to/release.keystore
52	export KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=your_keystore_password
53	export KEY_ALIAS=your_key_alias
54	export KEY_PASSWORD=your_key_password
55
56	./gradlew bundleRelease
57	```
58
59	## Version Management
60
61	### gradle.properties
62	```properties
63	VERSION_NAME=1.2.3
64	VERSION_CODE=123
65	```
66
67	### build.gradle
68	```groovy
69	android {
70	defaultConfig {
71	versionCode project.property('VERSION_CODE').toInteger()
72	versionName project.property('VERSION_NAME')
73	}
74	}
75	```
76
77	### Increment version
78	```bash
79	# Read current version
80	CURRENT_VERSION=$(grep VERSION_CODE gradle.properties \| cut -d'=' -f2)
81	NEW_VERSION=$((CURRENT_VERSION + 1))
82
83	# Update gradle.properties
84	sed -i "" "s/VERSION_CODE=$CURRENT_VERSION/VERSION_CODE=$NEW_VERSION/" gradle.properties
85
86	# Build
87	./gradlew bundleRelease
88	```
89
90	## ProGuard/R8 Configuration
91
92	### Enable R8 (default in AGP 3.4+)
93	```groovy
94	buildTypes {
95	release {
96	minifyEnabled true
97	shrinkResources true
98	proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
99	}
100	}
101	```
102
103	### Generate mapping file
104	Mapping file location: `app/build/outputs/mapping/release/mapping.txt`
105
106	Upload to Play Console for crash symbolication:
107	```bash
108	gplay deobfuscation upload \
109	--package com.example.app \
110	--edit $EDIT_ID \
111	--apk-version 123 \
112	--type proguard \
113	--file app/build/outputs/mapping/release/mapping.txt
114	```
115
116	## Build Variants
117
118	### Product Flavors
119	```groovy
120	android {
121	flavorDimensions "version"
122	productFlavors {
123	free {
124	dimension "version"
125	applicationIdSuffix ".free"
126	}
127	paid {
128	dimension "version"
129	}
130	}
131	}
132	```
133
134	### Build specific flavor
135	```bash
136	./gradlew bundleFreeRelease
137	./gradlew bundlePaidRelease
138	```
139
140	## CI/CD Build
141
142	### GitHub Actions Example
143	```yaml
144	- name: Build Release AAB
145	run: \|
146	echo "${{ secrets.KEYSTORE_BASE64 }}" \| base64 -d > release.keystore
147	export KEYSTORE_FILE=release.keystore
148	export KEYSTORE_PASSWORD="${{ secrets.KEYSTORE_PASSWORD }}"
149	export KEY_ALIAS="${{ secrets.KEY_ALIAS }}"
150	export KEY_PASSWORD="${{ secrets.KEY_PASSWORD }}"
151	./gradlew bundleRelease
152
153	- name: Upload to Play Store
154	env:
155	GPLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT: ${{ secrets.PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT }}
156	run: \|
157	gplay release \
158	--package com.example.app \
159	--track internal \
160	--bundle app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab
161	```
162
163	## Common Build Tasks
164
165	### Clean build
166	```bash
167	./gradlew clean bundleRelease
168	```
169
170	### Build with specific SDK versions
171	```bash
172	./gradlew bundleRelease -PminSdkVersion=21 -PtargetSdkVersion=34
173	```
174
175	### Build without tests
176	```bash
177	./gradlew bundleRelease -x test -x lint
178	```
179
180	### Build multiple variants
181	```bash
182	./gradlew bundle # Builds all variants
183	```
184
185	## Troubleshooting
186
187	### Build fails with signing errors
188	```bash
189	# Verify keystore
190	keytool -list -v -keystore release.keystore
191	```
192
193	### Check AAB contents
194	```bash
195	bundletool build-apks \
196	--bundle=app-release.aab \
197	--output=output.apks \
198	--mode=universal
199
200	unzip output.apks
201	```
202
203	### Verify version codes
204	```bash
205	./gradlew tasks --all \| grep Version
206	```
207
208	## Best Practices
209
210	1. Never commit keystores - Store in secure location
211	2. Use environment variables for credentials
212	3. Enable ProGuard/R8 for release builds
213	4. Upload mapping files after each release
214	5. Increment version code for every build
215	6. Test release builds before uploading
216	7. Use App Bundles (AAB) instead of APKs when possible
