Releasing the Haptics Playground App on the Google Play Store

You'll need an account on the Google Play Store with the appropriate permissions in order to do a release. If you don't have this, work with CU OIT to get set up.

You'll also need a code signing key to sign the app for uploading. One can be set up using Android Studio, see https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing#generate-key.

This doc is helpful for the Play Store part: https://codeburst.io/publish-a-cordova-generated-android-app-to-the-google-play-store-c7ae51cccdd5.

  • Make sure the version number is correct and matches in the package.json file and the config.xml file that both exist at the top level of the quake repo.
  • Build and test the debug version via the usual grunt process on main, the do some sanity testing to verify that this release is ready to publish.
  • Run cordova build android --release -- --keystore=<path to keystore> --storePassword=<keystore-password> --alias=upload --password=<key-password> --packageType=bundle to build the signed app bundle.
  • Upload the app via Google Play Console. The path to the app bundle will be something like c\git-dev\quake\platforms\android\app\build\outputs\bundle\release\app-release.aab. The upload is done via Internal Testing -> Create New Release.
  • Fill in the "Release name" with a message of the following format, but specific to this release: v0.0.1 - initial prototype release for testing
  • Add release notes that describe what is new in this release.
  • Immediately after the upload has completed and prior to making any changes to the repo, tag the current SHA in git using the command git tag -a <version> -m "<short-explanatory-message>" where the matches the string in the package.json and config.xml files, and the message is a short description of the reasons for the release. Example: git tag -a 0.0.1 -m "first release of Haptics Playground to be uploaded to the Play Store".
