Android Play Store Setup

This skill orchestrates complete Google Play Store deployment setup with automated publishing to the internal testing track using Fastlane.

What This Does

Scope: Internal track deployment only (simplified for quick testing)

Sets up everything needed for automated Play Store deployment using Fastlane:

1. Scan Project - Analyze project and generate setup checklist
2. Fastlane Setup - Configure Fastlane with supply and screengrab
3. App Icon - Generate and place icon assets
4. Screenshots - Automated screenshot capture
5. Store Listing - Feature graphic and metadata
6. Privacy Policy - Generate privacy policy for GitHub Pages
7. Version Management - Setup Git tag-based versioning
8. Signing Configuration - Configure release signing
9. Service Account - Play Store API access
10. GitHub Actions - CI/CD workflows with Fastlane

Prerequisites

• Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time)
• Google Cloud Platform account (free)
• Admin access to Play Console
• Package name reserved in Play Console

Workflow Overview

1. Scan → 2. Review → 3. Setup → 4. Deploy

Process

Step 1: Scan Project (Analysis Only)

Run /devtools:android-playstore-scan

What it does:

• Scans AndroidManifest.xml and build.gradle
• Detects Health Connect, ads, analytics
• Checks for privacy policy
• Generates PLAY_CONSOLE_SETUP.md with pre-filled answers

Output: PLAY_CONSOLE_SETUP.md

Action: Review the generated file and address any warnings

Step 2: Generate Privacy Policy (If Needed)

If PLAY_CONSOLE_SETUP.md shows privacy policy is missing:

Run /devtools:privacy-policy-generate

What it does:

• Scans project for app info
• Detects Health Connect and third-party SDKs
• Prompts for developer info
• Generates docs/privacy-policy.md
• Creates GitHub Pages setup guide

Verify:

test -f docs/privacy-policy.md && echo "✓ Privacy policy created"

Next: Enable GitHub Pages (Settings → Pages → Source: docs/)

Step 3: Setup Version Management

Run /devtools:version-management with platform=gradle

What it does:

• Creates scripts/version-manager.sh (core)
• Creates scripts/gradle-version.sh (Android adapter)
• Creates version.properties with initial version
• Updates app/build.gradle.kts to read from version.properties

Verify:

./scripts/version-manager.sh latest
./scripts/gradle-version.sh generate patch

Step 4: Generate Keystores

Run /devtools:android-keystore-generation

What it does:

• Generates production-release.jks (for CI/CD)
• Generates local-dev-release.jks (for local testing)
• Creates KEYSTORE_INFO.txt with credentials
• Updates.gitignore

Verify:

ls keystores/*.jks
cat keystores/KEYSTORE_INFO.txt

Step 5: Configure Signing

Run /devtools:android-signing-config

What it does:

• Adds signing configuration to app/build.gradle.kts
• Configures dual-source credentials (env vars + gradle.properties)
• Updates local ~/.gradle/gradle.properties
• Adds validation for release builds

Verify:

./gradlew assembleRelease

Step 6: Configure ProGuard (If Not Already Setup)

Run /devtools:android-proguard-setup

What it does:

• Creates app/proguard-rules.pro with safe defaults
• Enables minification and resource shrinking
• Adds library-specific rules if needed

Verify:

grep "isMinifyEnabled = true" app/build.gradle.kts

Step 7: Setup Fastlane

Run /devtools:android-fastlane-setup

What it does:

• Creates Gemfile with fastlane and screengrab
• Creates fastlane/Appfile with package name
• Creates fastlane/Fastfile with deployment lanes
• Creates fastlane/Screengrabfile for screenshot automation
• Creates fastlane/metadata/ directory structure

Verify:

bundle exec fastlane --version
bundle exec fastlane lanes

Step 7a: Generate App Icon

Run /devtools:android-app-icon

What it does:

• Analyzes project for app name and colors
• Generates docs/APP_ICON_SETUP.md with IconKitchen instructions
• Provides helper script to process IconKitchen downloads
• Copies mipmap resources and Play Store icon

Verify:

test -f fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/icon.png
file fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/icon.png | grep "512 x 512"

Step 7b: Setup Screenshot Automation

Run /devtools:android-screenshot-automation

What it does:

• Adds screengrab dependency to app/build.gradle.kts
• Creates debug manifest with required permissions
• Creates ScreenshotTest.kt for automated capture
• Creates DemoModeRule.kt for clean status bar

Verify:

bundle exec fastlane screenshots
ls fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/phoneScreenshots/

Step 7c: Create Store Listing Assets

Run /devtools:android-store-listing

What it does:

• Generates docs/STORE_LISTING_GUIDE.md
• Creates metadata templates (title, description, etc.)
• Provides feature graphic generation script
• Guides user through asset creation

Verify:

test -f fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/featureGraphic.png
wc -c fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/*.txt

Step 8: Create Deployment Workflows

Run /devtools:android-workflow-internal

What it does:

• Creates.github/workflows/build.yml (CI only - runs on push/PR)
• Creates.github/workflows/release-internal.yml (Manual releases with Fastlane)
• Adds Ruby setup and bundle caching
• Uses bundle exec fastlane deploy_internal for deployment
• All actions pinned to SHAs

Verify:

test -f .github/workflows/build.yml
test -f .github/workflows/release-internal.yml
grep "bundle exec fastlane" .github/workflows/release-internal.yml

Step 9: Service Account Setup

Run /devtools:android-service-account-guide

What it does:

• Provides step-by-step guide for Google Cloud setup
• Documents service account creation
• Creates Play Console setup documentation

Manual steps required:

1. Create service account in Google Cloud
2. Download JSON key
3. Grant permissions in Play Console
4. Add JSON to GitHub Secrets as SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_PLAINTEXT

Step 10: Add Keystore to GitHub Secrets

From keystores/KEYSTORE_INFO.txt, add these secrets to GitHub:

# From KEYSTORE_INFO.txt, copy the base64 encoded keystore:
SIGNING_KEY_STORE_BASE64: <base64_string>
SIGNING_KEY_ALIAS: upload
SIGNING_STORE_PASSWORD: <password>
SIGNING_KEY_PASSWORD: <password>

Step 11: Validate API Connection

Run /devtools:android-playstore-api-validation

What it does:

• Creates scripts/validate-playstore.py
• Tests Play Store API connection
• Verifies service account permissions

Verify:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install google-auth google-api-python-client
python3 scripts/validate-playstore.py /path/to/service-account.json com.example.app

Step 12: First Manual Upload (CRITICAL)

⚠️ Before GitHub Actions can deploy, you MUST manually upload your first release.

Why?

1. Google Play requires manual first upload to complete store listing
2. Your production keystore becomes the upload key
3. Play App Signing is automatically enabled

Steps:

# 1. Build release bundle locally
./gradlew bundleRelease

# 2. Verify it's signed
jarsigner -verify -verbose app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab

# 3. Manual upload via Play Console

In Play Console:

1. Go to Release → Internal testing
2. Click Create new release
3. Upload app-release.aab
4. Complete store listing (title, description, icon)
5. Complete app content declarations
6. Publish to internal testing

IMPORTANT: The keystore used for this first upload must be the same one configured in GitHub Secrets!

Step 13: Test Fastlane Deployment

After first manual upload is complete:

# Push to main branch to trigger deployment
git add .
git commit -m "Setup Play Store deployment"
git push origin main

What happens:

1. GitHub Actions workflow triggers
2. Runs unit tests
3. Builds release bundle
4. Deploys to internal testing track

Monitor: Go to repository → Actions tab

Understanding Play App Signing

Two Keys System

Automatic Setup

For apps created after August 2021, Play App Signing is automatic:

1. First upload: Google generates app signing key
2. Your production keystore = upload key
3. Google re-signs with app signing key before distribution

No action needed - it just works!

Next Steps

For Beta/Production Deployment

Once internal testing is working:

# Add beta track
/devtools:android-workflow-beta

# Add production track
/devtools:android-workflow-production

Track Information

Troubleshooting

"Package not found" in API validation

• Ensure app exists in Play Console
• Verify package name matches exactly
• Complete first manual upload

"Upload key mismatch"

• Your first upload keystore ≠ GitHub Secrets keystore
• Fix: Use Play Console → App signing → Request upload key reset
• Re-upload with correct keystore

"Permission denied" for service account

• Grant "Release to production" permission in Play Console
• Wait 5-10 minutes for permissions to propagate

GitHub Actions fails to deploy

• Verify all GitHub Secrets are set correctly
• Check workflow logs for specific error
• Ensure first manual upload was completed
