Summary

  • Adds .github/workflows/deploy-google-play.yml to bypass the recurring Play Console UI loop bug that blocks production release submissions.
  • Uses r0adkll/upload-google-play@v1 (Google Play Developer Publishing API) for direct AAB upload.
  • Manual trigger via workflow_dispatch with configurable track, rollout_percentage, and status.

Secrets required

Already configured in the repo:

  • KEYSTORE_BASE64, KEYSTORE_PASSWORD, KEY_PASSWORD, KEY_ALIAS (reused from existing release workflow)
  • GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON (new — service account play-publisher@simple-notes-sync-deploy.iam.gserviceaccount.com, granted Release Manager in Play Console)

Why

The Play Console UI has a known intermittent bug that prevents pressing "Send for review" on production releases — last release (v2.5.0) required a Google support call. v2.5.1 hits the same bug. API path is more reliable long-term.

Test plan

After merge, trigger workflow with track=production, status=draft, rollout_percentage=100 to upload v2.5.1 as a draft (no live publish), then verify in Play Console and click Publish.

Bypasses the recurring Play Console UI loop bug that prevents submitting
production releases for review by uploading the AAB directly via the
Google Play Developer Publishing API (r0adkll/upload-google-play action).

Triggered manually via workflow_dispatch with configurable track,
rollout percentage and release status. Reuses existing signing secrets
(KEYSTORE_BASE64, KEYSTORE_PASSWORD, KEY_PASSWORD, KEY_ALIAS) and adds
GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON for API authentication.
