Installing APK build by the CI is possible
|
|
|
|
### Installing from Buildkite
|
|
|
|
The script `./tools/install/installFromBuildkite.sh` can be used, but Builkite will be removed soon. See next section.
|
|
|
|
### Installing from GitHub
|
|
|
|
To install an APK built by a GitHub action, run the script `./tools/install/installFromGitHub.sh`. You will need to pass a GitHub token to do so.
|
|
|
|
#### Create a GitHub token
|
|
|
|
You can create a GitHub token going to your Github account, at this page: [https://github.com/settings/tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens).
|
|
|
|
You need to create a token (classic) with the scope `repo/public_repo`. So just check the corresponding checkbox.
|
|
Validity can be long since the scope of this token is limited. You will still be able to delete the token and generate a new one.
|
|
Click on Generate token and save the token locally.
|
|
|
|
### Provide artifact URL
|
|
|
|
The script will ask for an artifact URL. You can get this artifact URL by following these steps:
|
|
|
|
- open the pull request
|
|
- in the check at the bottom, click on `APK Build / Build debug APKs`
|
|
- click on `Summary`
|
|
- scroll to the bottom of the page
|
|
- copy the link `vector-Fdroid-debug` if you want the F-Droid variant or `vector-Gplay-debug` if you want the Gplay variant.
|
|
|
|
The copied link can be provided to the script.
|
|
|
|
### Next steps
|
|
|
|
The script will download the artifact, unzip it and install the correct version (regarding arch) on your device.
|
|
|
|
Files will be added to the folder `./tmp/DebugApks`. Feel free to cleanup this folder from time to time, the script will not delete files.
|
|
|
|
### Future improvement
|
|
|
|
The script could ask the user for a Pull Request number and Gplay/Fdroid choice like it was done with Buildkite script. Using GitHub API may be possible to do that.
