Publishing to Google Play Store

Required GitHub Secrets

Configure these in Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions:

Secret	Description
`PLAY_STORE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON`	Google Play Console service account JSON key (full JSON content)
`KEYSTORE_BASE64`	Base64-encoded release keystore (`base64 -w0 release.keystore`)
`KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`	Keystore password
`KEY_ALIAS`	Key alias in the keystore
`KEY_PASSWORD`	Key password

Setup Steps

1. Create a release keystore

keytool -genkeypair -v -storetype PKCS12 \
  -keystore release.keystore -alias release \
  -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Encode it for GitHub secrets:

base64 -w0 release.keystore

2. Create a Google Play service account

Go to Google Cloud Console > IAM > Service Accounts
Create a service account and download the JSON key
In Google Play Console > Settings > API access, link the service account
Grant it release management permissions for your app

3. Workflow triggers

The publish workflow runs on:

GitHub Release publish events
Tag pushes matching v*

It builds an AAB (Android App Bundle), signs it with the release keystore, and uploads to the internal track. Promote to production via Play Console.

Fastlane (Alternative)

A Fastlane setup is included for local publishing:

bundle install
bundle exec fastlane android deploy

Set environment variables: SUPPLY_JSON_KEY, RELEASE_STORE_FILE, RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD, RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS, RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD.
