Releasing Nonono

Targets: Codeberg release (signed APK), Google Play (AAB), F-Droid (source). Version is versionCode/versionName in app/build.gradle.kts (1 / 1.0.0).

0. One-time: upload keystore (you hold this, never commit it)

keytool -genkeypair -v -keystore ~/keys/nonono-upload.jks \
  -alias nonono -keyalg RSA -keysize 4096 -validity 10000

Local release builds read it from env (unset = unsigned, which is what F-Droid wants):

export NONONO_KEYSTORE=~/keys/nonono-upload.jks
export NONONO_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=... NONONO_KEY_ALIAS=nonono NONONO_KEY_PASSWORD=...
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease :app:bundleRelease
# app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk  (Codeberg)
# app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab  (Play)

1. Cut the tag

CHANGELOG [1.0.0] and fastlane/.../changelogs/1.txt are updated, then:

git push --force-with-lease origin main
git tag -fa v1.0.0 -m "Nonono 1.0.0" && git push -f origin v1.0.0

(History was rewritten during development, hence force.)

2. Codeberg release + APK artifact

CI (.woodpecker/release.yml) builds a signed APK+AAB on the v* tag and attaches the APK to the release. First enable Woodpecker for the repo and add secrets: nonono_keystore_b64 (base64 -w0 nonono-upload.jks), nonono_keystore_password, nonono_key_alias, nonono_key_password, codeberg_token (repo-write scope). If CI is not set up yet, do it manually:

berg release create v1.0.0 --title "Nonono 1.0.0" --notes-file fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/1.txt
berg release upload v1.0.0 app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk

3. Google Play

  • Play Console developer account (one-time fee).
  • Create app, upload the AAB to the internal-testing track; enrol in Play App Signing.
  • Listing copy is in fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/ (title, short, full).
  • Privacy policy URL: host PRIVACY.md, e.g. https://codeberg.org/codegax/Nonono/raw/branch/main/PRIVACY.md.
  • Data safety: no data collected, no sharing. Content rating: complete the questionnaire (offline puzzle, no UGC). Category: Games / Puzzle.
  • Screenshots + 512 icon + 1024x500 feature graphic: capture from a release build (see fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/README.md).

4. F-Droid

  • Ensure the repo is public on Codeberg with the v1.0.0 tag pushed.
  • Submit metadata/dev.codegax.nonono.yml as a merge request to https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata (an RFP). F-Droid builds from source and signs with its own key; no keystore needed. The listing text/graphics are read from fastlane/. No proprietary dependencies (verified).

Bumping later

Increment versionCode and versionName, add a CHANGELOG entry plus fastlane/.../changelogs/<versionCode>.txt, tag vX.Y.Z, push the tag.
