# 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. |
