### What it does This action signs APK packages, a step required by Google Play Store before publishing the application live. Instead of keeping the keystore credentials in the repository, Buddy stores them safely in the pipeline filesuystem. ### How it works The action looks for an APK file in the pipeline filesystem and signs it with a provided keystore in its Settings. ### Sign APK Action Features - Support for keystore password and optional key password - Support for key alias - Output directory and APK filename are settable - Build Tools version is settable - Input fields: Select the APK, Location, KeystorePassword KeyAlias, OutputDirectory, Output APK Name support [environment variables](https://buddy.works/docs/pipelines/environment-variables) - The action can be configured in [YAML mode](https://buddy.works/docs/yaml/yaml-gui). See [${action.name} YAML parameters](https://buddy.works/docs/yaml/yaml-actions/sign-android-app) and [${action.name} YAML config example](https://buddy.works/docs/yaml/yaml-actions/sign-android-app#yaml-example-for-sign-android-app) - Buddy's [${action.name} API](https://buddy.works/docs/api/pipelines/create-manage-actions/add-action/sign-android-application) is supported - The action supports conditional execution: it can be run on each execution, only if there are changes in the repository or specific paths since last execution or if an environment variable has a specific value - Error handling: you can either stop the execution, mark action and pipeline as failed or proceed the execution, mark action as warning and jump to the next action ### More about ${action.name} * [Getting started with CI/CD for ${action.name}](https://buddy.works/docs/quickstart/android#32-sign-your-application-apk) * [More about CI/CD for Android apps](https://buddy.works/guides/how-build-and-publish-android-apps)
