# Release Build Process
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first time you create a release build you'll need to create a keystore file and prepare a properties file. The
|
||
|
|
release keystore is used for app signing and a properties file is used to store
|
||
|
|
sensitive information about the keystore. **These files should not be committed
|
||
|
|
to git.** Once you have both of these files you can create a release build for
|
||
|
|
the Google Play Store.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create a release keystore
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Creating a release keystore via CLI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `keytool` command can be used, for example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
keytool -genkey -alias silentdragon -keyalg RSA -keystore new.jks -dname "CN=Duke Leto, O=Hush" -storepass testing -keypass 123 -validity XXX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Creating a release keystore via GUI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* With Android Studio IDE open, on the system bar click Build -> Generate Signed Bundle/APK
|
||
|
|
* Select the APK option instead of the Bundle option
|
||
|
|
* On the next screen select app as the module and click "Create new"
|
||
|
|
* Set the Key Store Name to `silent_dragon_keystore.jks` and the path to that of the project, create a password for the keystore path, a Key alias, and a key password. The store password and key password should be the same. Fill out some basic organization information and click Ok.
|
||
|
|
* On the next screen make sure the build variant "release" is selected and click Finish.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Preparing a properties file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy `secrets.properties` file from `examples` folder and paste it to the projects main directory.
|
||
|
|
Fill store_file_location, key_alias, key_password and store_password when you created the release keystore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building a release APK for Google Play
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before creating each build you should increment the version code & version name
|
||
|
|
in the build.gradle file. These must be incremented for each release otherwise
|
||
|
|
the Play Store will reject the build.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create a release build navigate to the project directory in terminal and run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
./new_binary.sh 1.2.3
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where 1.2.3 is the version number, which must match the codebase to be accepted to Google Play.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will produce an apk file in the following directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SilentDragonAndroid/app/build/output/apk/release/app-release.apk
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and also copy it to the current directory with the filename SilentDragonAndroid-1.2.3.apk
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This build can be directly uploaded to Google Play.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building a release APK for F-Droid
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will be pursued once lite wallet functionality exists in the SilentDragonAndroid wallet.
