This repo is created for Where to Store Android KeyStore File in CI/CD Cycle article in medium. You can take a look to get the story. Here are the storage solutions:

• Encode keystore file as an environment variable
• Store encrypted keystore file in version control system
• Download keystore from external source like AWS S3, Google Drive

Build project in your local machine

• Clone this repo and checkout the feature/encode-keystore branch:

  git clone https://github.com/farukcankaya/ciappsigningexample.git
  cd ciappsigningexample
  git fetch origin feature/encode-keystore
  git checkout feature/encode-keystore
  

• Create keystore files

  We create two keystore files for debug and release build types. If you don't know how to create keystore, you create with following instructions here. We used following informations to create keystores:

  Debug

  • Alias: Debug
  • Password: 1234567
  • Keystore file name: debug.keystore.jks
  • Store password: 1234567

  Release

  • Alias: Prod
  • Password=12345678
  • Keystore file name: release.keystore.jks
  • Store password: 12345678

• Create keystore.properties file in the project root(/ciappsigningexample)

  Create keystore.properties file and put the informations below to keystore.properties file.

  debugKeyAlias=Debug
  debugKeyPassword=1234567
  debugKeyStore=debug.keystore.jks
  debugStorePassword=1234567
  releaseKeyAlias=Prod
  releaseKeyPassword=12345678
  releaseKeyStore=release.keystore.jks
  releaseStorePassword=12345678
  

• Finally build the project! You can build the project and create an APK with following command:

  ./gradlew clean assembleDebug It generates signed an APK named app-debug.apk in /ciappsigningexample/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/ directory.
