This repo demonstrates how to work on CI/CD for Mobile Apps 📱 using Github Actions 💊 + Firebase Distribution 🎉
We are here setup a continious integration pipelines using Github Actions and a continious delivery using Firebase Distribution ⚡ ⚡
If you want to know a brief definition for the two terms CI/CD 🙆♂️, Checkout out the quotes :
-
Is the practice of merging all developers' working copies to a shared mainline several times a day.
-
Is a software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time and, when releasing the software, without doing so manually.
- 🚀 pre_check.yaml : This workflow have to check for lint, testing and static code analyzer
- 🚀 build.yaml : This workflow have to build and deploy to firebase distribution
To get start with build CI pipelines, you should use Actions tab or create a new YAML file, then you could setup your workflow, please checkout Metadata syntax for GitHub Actions 🧐
- name
Name of your workflow
- on
Control when the workflow will be triggerd
- jobs
Deterimne one or more jobs / pipelines to run for the workflow, but you have to specifiy some parameters to run the job
- job_name
Pick up your own job name
- runs_on
Specify your runner type
- steps
Represent a squence of tasks will be exceuted for each job / pipeline, each step have a some of parameters
- uses
One of step parameters, you can use it when your are trying to install enviornment or repository from marketplace
- run
One of step parameters, you can use it when your are trying to hit a command
This workflow run as a lint checker for each Pushing on master branch 🚀
name: Build lint checker report
on:
push:
branches: [ master ]
jobs:
lint:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup Java JDK
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
with:
java-version: 1.8
- name: Build Lint
run: ./gradlew lintDebug
- name: Upload Build Lint Report
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
with:
name: report
path: app/build/reports/lint-results-debug.html
- Checkout : This action checks-out your repository under
$GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your workflow can access it. - Setup Java JDK
- Build Lint : Run lint report
- Upload Build Lint Report : This uploads artifacts from your workflow allowing you to share data between jobs and store data once a workflow is complete.
To get start with build CD pipelines, you should integrate your app with Firebase Distribution, then you could setup your workflow, please checkout Firebase Distribution for more how to integrate your app with firebase 🧐
Firebase App Distribution makes distributing your apps to trusted testers painless. By getting your apps onto testers' devices quickly, you can get feedback early and often.
This workflow builds a debug APK, then upload the artifact APK to a workflow dashboard and send another one to testers group on firebase distributions dashboard after each Pull Request on master branch 🚀

- Build Gradle : Build your APK.
- Upload Artifact To Firebase App Distribution : This action uploads artifacts (.apk,.aab) to Firebase App Distribution.
- appId : Get it from your project settings on firebase console.
- token : Run this command
firebase login:ci, for more informations about how to get your firbase token, check out Firebase CLI
