#Gradle Play

Gradle plugin for publishing Android applications using the Google Play Publisher API

Building

• clone repository
• execute ./gradlew assemble
• copy build/libs/play-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar (eg. libraries/ subfolder below)

Usage

build.gradle

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
        …
        
        classpath files('libraries/gradle-play-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar')
        classpath 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-androidpublisher:v2-rev2-1.19.0'
        classpath 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-gson:1.19.0'
        classpath 'com.google.oauth-client:google-oauth-client-java6:1.19.0'
        classpath 'com.google.guava:guava:15.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'io.vokal.gradle.play'

android {
    …
}

play {
    applicationName "Company-AppName/1.0"
    publishVariants 'freeRelease', 'paidRelease'
    publishTrack 'alpha' // can be [production, beta, alpha], defaults to 'alpha'
    serviceEmail '' // add service email
    serviceKey '' // add path to .p12 file
}

You can also specify just the suffix, which will build all flavors for that build type:

play {
    …
    publishVariants 'release'
    …
}

(eg. might build freeX86Release, freeArmRelease, paidX86Release, paidArmRelease variants)

gradle tasks

• playInfo - displays publishing info grouped by application
• playPublish - publishes all configured applications

The plugin will group apps by package and upload all apks for that app together. If there is only one APK for an application, a variant specific task will be created.
