Android Release & CI/CD Automation
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
Each week, once the feature branch is approved and merged into development, I need a clean release built, signed, and published to Google Play. The workflow must run entirely through our existing GitLab CI/CD pipeline and output a verified .aab bundle ready for the store listing.
Your first milestone is to refine or create the pipeline stages that:
• pull the updated development branch
• assemble and sign the .aab
• upload the build to the correct Play Console track (alpha → production depending on tags)
• provide a concise build report in the GitLab job summary
After the automation is in place, record a short knowledge-transfer session for our new teammate that focuses strictly on the build and deployment process—no need to cover architecture or full code walkthroughs, just the nuts-and-bolts of branching strategy, tagging, secrets management and publishing steps. A written quick-start guide or annotated pipeline YAML.
I expect one successful, Play-store-visible release per weekly increment along with that documentation and hand-off material. If anything in the store upload fails, the fix and re-submission are part of the same week’s deliverable.
