Find out how to integrate Zip with Build Android APK

There is no one-click ZIP to APK converter. An APK is a compiled Android package, so the files in your ZIP have to be built, not renamed. Buddy runs that build for you in the cloud, with no local Android SDK:

  • Unpack and wrap - push the files from your ZIP to a Git repository in Buddy and wrap the web app in an Android project with Capacitor.
  • Build - compile a release APK with Gradle.
  • Sign and publish - sign the APK with your release key and save it as a versioned artifact.

Follow the step-by-step guide: turn a ZIP into a signed APK.

When this happens...

GitHub Push / Bitbucket Push / Git Push

Zip + Build Android APK tutorials

Automate building with Zip and Build Android APK on every push to GitHub, recurrently or manually. Set up the Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) workflow with GitHub, Zip, Build Android APK and Buddy in minutes. Build test & deploy instantly. Turn DevOps into NoOps with Buddy's automation.

Both actions run in Buddy's agentic cloud: Zip and Build Android APK share one pipeline filesystem, one set of variables and one YAML definition. The pipeline can be started by a push, a schedule, an API call or an AI agent running in a sandbox, with the same result every time.

How it Works

  • As soon as a push to GitHub is detected, Buddy triggers the Zip action
  • The pipeline can be also triggered manually or recurrently
  • Once the Zip has finished, Buddy automatically triggers Build Android APK
  • Any generated artifacts will be saved to the pipeline filesystem
