Android (Native)

For native Android applications built using Kotlin or Java, the Gradle build system packages compiled applications into either APKs or AAB (Android App Bundle) formats.

Typical Build PathsCopy Anchor Link

Depending on your Gradle build type and flavor options, output paths are typically:

• Android APK (Release): ./app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
• Android APK (Debug): ./app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
• Android AAB (Release): ./app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab

Uploading Your BuildCopy Anchor Link

Compile your release APK and upload it directly to BuildShare:

# 1. Build the release APK
./gradlew assembleRelease

# 2. Upload to BuildShare
buildshare upload ./app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk --notes "Release build"

Fast CI/CD AutomationCopy Anchor Link

Run the build and upload non-interactively in your pipeline with exit code tracking:

./gradlew assembleRelease && buildshare upload ./app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk --ci --json

Gradle Integration ExampleCopy Anchor Link

You can add a custom Gradle task to your app/build.gradle to invoke BuildShare CLI automatically whenever a release build completes:

tasks.register('distributeToBuildShare', Exec) {
    dependsOn 'assembleRelease'
    workingDir project.rootDir
    commandLine 'buildshare', 'upload', './app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk', '--ci', '--notes', 'Auto-distributed from Gradle'
}

Now, simply run:

./gradlew distributeToBuildShare
